Roadmap

Roadmap

PolicyWatcher follows a two-track release rhythm:

• Major Feature Drops (3.0, 4.0, 5.0) expand what the platform can do.
• Confidence Releases (3.5, 4.5, 5.5) harden how the platform works and how it explains itself.

v3.5 Confidence Track

The 3.5 track focuses on:

• source provenance;
• Dataset QA;
• retrieval diagnostics;
• public evidence gates;
• source suspension;
• re-baseline protection;
• admin review logs;
• security and public quality evidence.

v3.5.1 Audit Operations

Delivered or actively represented in the 3.5.1 codebase:

• admin access logs;
• Dataset QA issue decisions;
• Policy Signals Board;
• VPS Services admin page;
• renderer and operations-agent packages;
• source remediation scripts;
• Hostinger database initialization helpers;
• source-backed KPI extraction;
• public KPI withholding for unassessed states;
• scraper SSRF and drift controls;
• operational alerting for source suspension.

Candidate Future Work

• richer arbitrary version comparison;
• chunked long-document AI assessment with coverage map;
• reviewer-assigned assessment queue;
• source confidence history per provider;
• public change-impact explainability panels;
• webhook integrations;
• exportable audit bundles;
• PostgreSQL production option;
• stronger visual QA dashboards.

Intentionally Excluded

PolicyWatcher should avoid:

• claims of compliance certification;
• legal verdict scoring;
• stealth scraping claims;
• unverified public rankings;
• public exposure of seeded or partial evidence.
