Research that can become an operating system.
The Graphared Engine will organize opportunities, evidence, projects, and decisions. Its first prototype is a funding research workbench. Later phases will support private client workspaces and a civic research pipeline: municipal planning records and agritourism interviews organized for EcoNomad’s source-linked reporting.
Frame a funding search.
This browser-based workbench turns a research question into a reusable brief and routes you to official funding sources. It does not yet collect or rank live opportunities. Entries stay in this browser session and are not submitted to Graphared.
Start with the question.
Choose a track and describe the purpose. The result will give you a repeatable search frame and verified source entry points.
From public record to public understanding.
Graphared’s planned engine will organize the evidence behind EcoNomad’s regional reporting. Municipal records and conversations with people working in agritourism become research files first; editorial judgment turns selected findings into articles.
Public records
Monitor planning commissions, boards and councils across the Northern California corridor. Capture agendas, staff reports, minutes, permits, land-use proposals, funding notices, and original links with dates and jurisdictions.
Explore this path ↗02 / HearAgritourism voices
Interview farmers, hosts, makers, tribal and local partners, workers, visitors, and neighbors about tourism, land stewardship, culture, housing, and the local economy. Record attribution and publication permissions.
Explore this path ↗03 / ReviewVerify and connect
Extract decisions, timelines, impacts, and open questions; compare documents with interviews; check claims against primary records and seek missing perspectives. A human editor approves what is reportable.
Explore this path ↗04 / PublishEcoNomad articles
Send approved, source-linked research to EcoNomad’s Field Notes, The Record, The Library, and The Becoming. Articles are written and published through the EcoNomad Substack, with links back to the underlying record when appropriate.
Explore this path ↗One engine, several applications.
The research model begins with personal scholarship and grant discovery. The same record structure can then support client projects without mixing their documents, permissions, or decisions.
Opportunity research
Define an applicant profile, collect official source links, review eligibility and deadlines, and record why each lead is worth pursuing. The public workbench above is only the first interface.
Explore this path ↗Next / privateClient workspace
Project-specific intake, secure sign-in, document upload and delivery, review status, and an audit trail. No client document portal or account access is live yet.
Explore this path ↗Later / source-linkedCivic intelligence
Organize planning commission and other municipal records alongside agritourism interviews; preserve provenance, permissions, and review status so approved findings can support EcoNomad articles on Substack.
Explore this path ↗Parallel applicationHMS operations
As Harp’s Moving Store develops, its future app can use Graphared’s research and workflow design while keeping HMS customer operations and records in their own system.
Explore this path ↗Separate client projects require separate access rules and records. Graphared’s own workspace will be built independently of any employer’s Airtable. Microsoft tools may be used where they fit client collaboration; the storage and sign-in design will be chosen before document exchange goes live.
