86 App - A Digital Witness for Hospitality Harm.

86 is a mandated workplace app that creates a private, encrypted record of workplace incidents—giving hospitality workers a tool to document, process, and prepare for action on their own terms.

Core Concept

A trauma-informed incident logging system that acts as a "black box" for workplace harm. Workers tap to mark moments of concern, then reflect 24+ hours later through guided prompts about personal impact, context, and legal/structural dimensions. Everything remains completely private unless the worker chooses otherwise.

Key Innovation

Though employer-mandated (like rostering apps), 86 maintains absolute data separation—employers have zero access to worker logs. This creates industry-wide defensive infrastructure while preserving worker autonomy.

Where it goes further than an incident report:

Flexible outputs: personal archive, formal reports, or pathways to support

Deferred processing with three-tier reflection after emotions settle

Quick capture during/after incidents (timestamp, location, optional notes)

Critical Features

Built-in legal/emotional literacy modules

Role-aware guidance recognising power dynamics

Version history tracking how perception evolves

Witness mode for collective documentation

Works offline (for basements/rural venues)
