Accountability + follow-through tracker
This page keeps the reform case from floating by naming what progress should look like and what watchers should keep checking.
No private case intake: do not send child names, sealed records, private allegations, or confidential files through public campaign links. Privacy boundarySafety first
Site boundary: JTforME is the campaign, public-record, citizen-initiative, and Maine family-help routing hub. For volunteer-only public education, printable tools, and research/source materials, use FOCaF.
This campaign should not ask people in Maine to remember slogans. It should show what is moving, what is backed by evidence, and what remains unfinished.
I want this page to make it easier to follow the platform as a body of work instead of a pile of announcements.

Use it when the question is what should happen next, what should be watched, and how promises should be judged after the launch language is gone.
This page keeps the reform case from floating by naming what progress should look like and what watchers should keep checking.
Use it when the public conversation is shifting from diagnosis into whether the response is actually happening.
The tracker matters more after the public pattern is already understood.
This page should hand readers into standards, sources, briefs, and packets when they want the supporting record.
These nearby pages keep the public record, source trail, and measurement layer close together.
Read the flagship public-record page when you need the campaign case in one place.

Open Briefs + dataUse the standard-setting page when the question is what a fix should be judged against.
Open StandardsIf child-access pressure, family-court pressure, or fear for safety is making today feel dangerous or unbearable, start with crisis support, counseling, and the cleanest Maine justice doors first.
A tracker page should not feel like a dead-end status board. It should tell people what is live, what is still building, and which proof lane or practical page to open next.
Problem: drift, delay, and weak early fact development can cost children time and stability.
Evidence: backlog trend, workload study, child-impact research.
Still unfinished: translating a reform standard into durable process rules and public accountability.
Problem: people cannot govern against what they cannot see.
Evidence: annual report, workload study, regional caseload reports.
Still unfinished: cleaner recurring public dashboards and better claim-to-proof discipline across institutions.
Problem: families in southern Maine are carrying court strain and housing strain at the same time.
Evidence: MaineHousing needs study, 2026 outlook, vacancy data, PIT report, regional court data.
Still unfinished: translating prevention and stability priorities into accountable state action.
If something is still a commitment or a public draft, this page should say so plainly instead of overclaiming progress.
The tracker is only credible if people can move from the tracked item back to the proof that made it necessary.
I do not want a tracker that turns into self-congratulation. The unfinished portion belongs in the foreground too.
If this page changes over time, the reason should be visible in plain language and traceable to actual work.
Tracking is only useful when readers can tell what would count as actual movement. These are the concrete next checkpoints I would want people in Maine to keep watching.
Watch whether the initiative and related materials keep routing back to child time, earlier fact development, and less tolerance for drift.
Watch whether the dashboard, sources, and briefs keep making backlog, capacity, and regional pressure easier to inspect instead of harder.
Watch whether the family-help layer keeps getting calmer, faster, and more useful under stress rather than becoming campaign decoration.
If this page ever starts reading like a victory lap instead of a public work log, it is failing its purpose.
What the reform is, where it stands, and what problem it is meant to solve.
Each tracked item should point people back to the proof page or the primary record behind it.
I do not want a tracker that pretends things are solved just because a page was published or a bill was filed.
A reform tracker should make the next visible checkpoint obvious. These materials keep the page usable when someone needs the public test in a shorter, more portable form.
A short route through the current tracker lane, what to watch next, and how the tracker connects to standards and the flagship page.
The tracker makes more sense after the statewide pressure view and scorecard are already in front of the reader.
The tracker should not drift into vague promises. The standards page is where people can test whether the public claims still stay measurable and receipt-backed.
When people want the tracker to reflect real friction, the safest order is Family Hub first, story intake second, and tracker review after that.
The dashboard remains the fastest way to hand someone the whole public case without sending them through every page.
This is where claims should become source trails, chart data, and packets that skeptical readers can inspect directly.
After the public record comes the practical lane: routing, official doors, and family-help tools under stress.
Claim matrix, source ladder, and safe public wording for proof-heavy materials.
Open standardsMetric freshness, source limits, success measures, and data gaps.
Open dashboard methodPublic issue register before the next initiative revision.
Open reviewThe accountability page now frames administrative drift and institutional delay as measurable public failures without profanity, personal attacks, or unsupported motive claims.
