Each of these does at a weekend's scale what our products do at a company's: takes something people handle informally and turns it into structure a system can act on.
All three work, and all three were built in days rather than quarters. None of them is a Catalyst Gen product, none is operated by the institution it was designed for, and none should be relied on in an emergency or in place of the service it models. Where a real hospital or agency is named, it names the problem — not a partnership.
Arriving at a hospital and waiting, with nothing written down about why you came until you are finally in the room.
A numbered queue ticket booked over WhatsApp, and a symptom summary the doctor has already read when you walk in.
Not deployed at any hospital. Named institutions appear as illustration only.
Wanting to work in technology, starting six courses, finishing none, and collecting certificates with no project behind them.
A single chosen pathway with a finishable roadmap, explained in Wolof, Mandinka or Fula, ending in something you actually built.
Not affiliated with any school, training provider or government programme.
Describing where a fire is over the phone, from memory, under pressure, to someone who has to picture the street from your words.
A GPS-pinned report with a status a command dashboard can track from received through dispatched to resolved.
Not operated by, or affiliated with, the Gambia Fire and Rescue Service. In an emergency, call the national emergency number.
