Is the education accurate and appropriately bounded?
Review terminology, source citations, neighborhood context, relief guidance, and where users are directed back to official staff and records.
NC county rollout
Release scope before expansion.
A disciplined way to find product fit.
NBHDer is starting in North Carolina and adding county property tools by planned release. Each county path needs source review, clear scope, legal boundaries, and data-owner alignment before public expansion.
01 Evaluation path
Move from interest to evidence
without skipping the hard questions.
The purpose of an evaluation is to learn whether NBHDer can support a county’s communication goals, technical environment, and resident experience—not to presume the answer.
- 01
Frame the public-service need
Identify the resident questions, communication gaps, audiences, and official sources that matter locally.
- 02
Review data and boundaries
Examine public fields, refresh expectations, privacy presentation, disclaimers, and system-of-record precedence.
- 03
Define a scoped evaluation
Agree on coverage, labeling, stakeholders, feedback channels, and what the product should—and should not—demonstrate.
- 04
Document what was learned
Review usage, resident questions, staff observations, limitations, and next-step evidence before considering expansion.
02 Review by responsibility
One product.
Different questions.
No single demo answers every stakeholder. A credible review makes room for professional judgment from each function.
What data moves, where, and why?
Review hosting, public-data inputs, privacy presentation, operational responsibilities, accessibility, and the proposed integration footprint.
What decision would the evaluation support?
Define the problem, decision owners, evaluation criteria, documentation needs, and a realistic path if evidence supports continuing.
03 Fit and boundaries
Complement the county.
Do not impersonate it.
NBHDer IS DESIGNED TO
- Organize public assessment information for residents
- Explain terminology in plain language
- Keep citations and official next steps visible
- Support a scoped, documented learning process
NBHDer DOES NOT
- Replace CAMA, GIS, or the official property record
- Make appraisal, eligibility, legal, or tax determinations
- Promise appeal outcomes or tax savings
- Claim county affiliation without written approval
A GOOD EVALUATION STARTS WITH A CLEAR QUESTION.
