For permitting teams and community reviewers
Use the strictest, most conservative health numbers and explain them in clear, sixth‑grade language. Reduce delays. Build trust.

Public concern stalls permits
“Is this safe for kids, families, and workers?” Without clear answers, comment periods drag and approvals stall.
Technical language confuses
Most readers prefer sixth‑grade language. Long reports lose the audience and trust.
Debates over assumptions
Different “assumptions” create conflict. Using the most conservative numbers settles the question.
What you get
- • Conservative health numbers that are easy to explain
- • Plain‑language community summaries (sixth‑grade reading)
- • A simple “community view” you can share during comment periods
- • Fewer delays from confusion; faster path to decisions
About the numbers
We follow widely used, conservative procedures (e.g., regional air district guidance or statewide health methods). We don’t name agencies here, but we mirror their most cautious assumptions to protect health.
Community‑ready example
What we tell people
“We used the strictest health numbers available. Here’s what that means for nearby homes, schools, and workers.”
How we show it
A simple chart with a green/yellow/red band and a one‑paragraph explanation—no jargon, no math.
Outcome
Fewer questions during comment periods and faster movement to decisions.
