Status: Draft, open for feedback | Version: 0.1 | Type: Open framework, not a product
The Community Intelligence Framework (CIF) is an open, technology-agnostic framework for turning everyday human movement, play, exercise, and community activity into measurable improvements in health, education, sustainability, and community wellbeing.
It is proposed as a framework, in the same sense Agile, Lean, or ESG are frameworks, not a product, a piece of hardware, or a company. Any school, corporate campus, residential community, municipality, or government can adopt it, using whatever vendors and technology fit its own context, while remaining comparable to every other adopter through a shared data model.
The public campaign identity for this work is "Let's Get Our Mojo Back." CIF is the name of the framework the campaign runs on; the two are deliberately kept separate. See the whitepaper's Naming and Branding notes for why.
The core reordering that defines the whole framework:
flowchart LR
A[Human Movement] --> B[Health]
B --> C[Community]
C --> D[Education]
D --> E[Sustainability]
E --> F[Electricity]
Every prior attempt at converting human motion into electricity treats electricity as the goal. CIF treats it as the last, least important link in the chain. Health and community come first.

Every adopter, regardless of scale or sector, works with the same five pillars:
- Move: increase physical activity and functional fitness.
- Connect: increase community participation and social belonging.
- Learn: gamified education, STEM, and sustainability literacy.
- Sustain: energy and carbon.
- Grow: health outcomes, economic impact, innovation, and quality of life.
A school, a corporate campus, and a city can all implement the same five pillars differently, using different equipment and programs, while remaining measurable against the same underlying model.
The Population Twin Hierarchy. A nested chain of data aggregations, from a single person up to an entire country, that lets any adopter measure its own movement and wellbeing trend, and lets governments and insurers compare across adopters:

P[Individual / Person Twin] --> F[Family Twin]
F --> S[School / Corporate Campus Twin]
S --> N[Neighborhood Twin]
N --> C[Community Twin]
C --> Ci[City Twin]
Ci --> St[State / Regional Twin]
St --> Na[Nation Twin]
Na --> Pl[Planet Twin]
Not every adopter needs every level. A single school may stop at the School Twin; a national program extends the full chain.
The Mojo Score. A composite health and participation signal, calculated the same standardized way for every adopter and benchmarked against a published national or global baseline, so scores are genuinely comparable. What stays locally governed is not the score's calculation, but the target, what a given community treats as a sufficient improvement for its own incentive design. The score is designed to trigger investment in under-resourced communities, never a penalty; see the whitepaper's governance safeguards for the full reasoning.
This framework is a draft proposal, not a finished specification. The whitepaper's Open Research Questions section lays out what still needs to be resolved, including how the Mojo Score's national or global baseline should be governed, what data schema keeps the Population Twin hierarchy interoperable across vendors, and what funding structures would let governments, insurers, and CSR programs adopt it based on demonstrated outcomes.
The framework name itself is provisional. "Community Intelligence Framework (CIF)" is the current working name, pending a basic trademark and namespace clearance check, as noted in the whitepaper.
This repository is currently a draft framework proposal. Feedback, critique, and expressions of interest in piloting the framework are welcome via issues or discussions in this repository.
