Casa Verde is a fictional $600k family services organization with six staff and two programs. Funders now ask for validated evidence before they renew, and the records that would answer them are scattered across drives, inboxes, and a filing cabinet. The team knows the work is strong; they cannot yet show it in one place a reviewer would trust.
The team approves a single system of record, and Luminary connects it so evidence can be drawn from what already exists.
Across the twenty one controls, Luminary proposes candidate evidence for the gaps that matter most this month.
One evidence review batch each month: a human reviewer accepts, partially accepts, rejects, or requests clarification before anything is published.
The twenty one control Readiness Profile updates, with a directional band and evidence coverage the team can see.
One active managed priority moves forward, reviewed in a single monthly check-in with two administrators and their viewers.
By day 90 Casa Verde has a published twenty one control Readiness Profile with a directional band, evidence coverage rising as controls are validated by a human reviewer, and its one active priority closing. The team reviews and approves every source and every result before it is published, so the profile reflects what they can actually stand behind.
