For individuals seeking help
Real answers, fast
When accuracy matters — and with services it always does — ORAN retrieves real, verified records and presents them clearly. No guesswork, no stale data.
Natural language search
Type what you need in plain words. ORAN maps your query to structured service records across hundreds of verified categories.
Location-aware results
Results ranked by proximity. Your approximate location is never stored or shared without your explicit consent.
Verified records only
Every phone number, address, and service detail comes from a confirmed, structured source record — reviewed and dated.
No account required
Start immediately. No sign-up, no paywall, no data collection beyond what helps you find services.
For service providers & nonprofits
Get discovered. Stay verified. Build trust.
ORAN gives organizations a dedicated portal to manage listings, build provenance-backed credibility, and reach people actively searching for their programs — without proprietary lock-in.
Self-service host portal
Create and manage your listings through a dedicated portal. Changes flow through a structured review process before going live.
Source provenance tracking
Every record carries a verifiable provenance trail — origin, last verification date, and a live confidence score.
Community-backed verification
Service changes enter a review workflow where community admins verify updates — protecting data integrity without burdening your staff.
Multi-surface discoverability
Once published, listings are immediately reachable via search, guided chat, directory browse, and map — no extra integrations needed.
For community contributors & admins
Help build the civic data layer
ORAN is only as good as the people maintaining it. Community partners — volunteer admins, civic technologists, and local advocates — are how verified data stays accurate at scale.
Structured review queue
Volunteer admins work through a curated review queue of records flagged for confidence decay, unverified submissions, or local coverage gaps.
211 & HSDS data federation
ORAN ingests and normalizes 211-standard and HSDS feeds. Community contributors maintain quality across federated sources.
Fully open platform
Built for transparency. Every scoring model, ingestion pipeline, and matching rule is documented and inspectable by the community that depends on it.
Dedicated admin tooling
Volunteer admins and community reviewers access a purpose-built portal for claims, submissions, flag review, and coverage management.
Why ORAN
Built for the gaps other tools leave open
Generic search returns pages, not answers. Unverified directories go stale. ORAN is purpose-built for the problem they all fall short on.
vs. generic chatbots
Reliable by design
ORAN only surfaces records that exist in its verified database. No invented contact details, no fabricated service hours — ever.
vs. search engines
Structured & eligibility-aware
Search engines surface pages. ORAN surfaces structured records — hours, eligibility, contact details, and a confidence score.
vs. stale 211 databases
Continuously re-verified
Traditional databases go stale between update cycles. ORAN flags confidence decay and routes verification work to community admins.
vs. proprietary directories
Transparent & auditable
No black boxes. Anyone can inspect how records are scored, how data flows, and how the matching logic works.
Our commitment
Community-governed.
Free to use. Built to last.
ORAN is built on the principle that verified resource access should never be gated behind a paywall. WCAG 2.1 AA accessible, continuously maintained, and free for every person who needs it.
