A proposed framework for publishing rigorous, governance-protected metrics about family court performance, outcomes, and system-induced harm — designed for defensibility, survivor safety, and judicial independence.
Phase: Pre-pilot — proposal and outreach. Version: v0.3 (2026). Maintainer: Doug Devitre, founder of CoTrackPro, St. Louis, Missouri.
Read before use. This repository contains two kinds of material: reviewed framework documents (the main 22-document OSCA binder) ready for stakeholder distribution, and draft-for-expert-review documents (the 8-document coercive-control mini-binder) that require review by survivor-advocacy partners, coercive-control clinicians, and a survivor-led review panel before operational adoption. The distinction matters — please respect it when sharing.
This site publishes four companion collections that together form a complete civic-transparency framework for Missouri family courts: a core metric catalog of 72 metrics across 14 stakeholder roles, a 22-document outreach binder for the Office of State Courts Administrator, a roadmap-and-specifications kit for adoption, and a draft expansion covering coercive control.
The flagship interactive artifact is the metric catalog viewer, linked below. The remaining three collections are currently distributed as Word documents; links open the folder view on GitHub where each document can be previewed or downloaded.
The core framework: 72 metrics across 14 stakeholder roles, organized into a four-tier disclosure architecture. Includes governance documents, proposed statutory language, operational specifications, pilot budget, and adoption roadmap.
A 22-document binder for the Missouri Office of State Courts Administrator: framework overview, proposed RSMo statute, pilot county selection memo, data-sharing MOU, methodology and ethics charters, budget, risk register, privacy pipeline, and stakeholder materials.
Roadmap, judicial bench card, and three technical specifications: the case-planning calculator, the judicial dashboard UX, and the attorney CLE module. Designed for the organizations that will implement the framework downstream of OSCA.
Draft for expert review — not for operational adoption.
An 8-document expansion addressing the phenomenon most family-court data systems fail to handle safely: the asymmetry principle, literature and instruments, screening protocol, metric additions, platform design, stakeholder training, and the expert-review convening plan.
