ROADMAP

Three phases.
One direction.

We are in Phase 1. Everything in this roadmap is sequenced around what it takes to earn the trust of the people closest to this problem — before asking them to stake children's safety on a new platform.

01

Trust + Pilots

Q4 2026 — Q1 2027

ACTIVE NOW

Before we ask anyone to trust Lighthouse with something as serious as child protection, we earn it. Phase 1 is about proof, not scale. Three platforms in pilots, a foundation filing, a board, and one anchor strategic partner.

Platform launches

  • FrontlineOS — soft launch via Truckers Against Trafficking partnership
  • Sentinel for Parents — schools pilot (Sacramento County school district)
  • Youth Risk Navigator — youth org pilot (Boys & Girls Clubs pilot target)
  • Restore OS — supporting product, Q1 2027 launch to 5 safe home partners

Success criteria

  • Two signed pilot agreements by end of Q4 2026
  • Lighthouse Foundation 501(c)(3) filing accepted
  • Five-person board recruited (two external seats filled)
  • Tim Tebow Foundation strategic alignment confirmed
  • Net Promoter Score ≥ 60 from pilot users
  • Zero data incidents

Partner milestones

  • Truckers Against Trafficking — FrontlineOS launch pathway
  • Sacramento County school district — Sentinel pilot
  • Tim Tebow Foundation — strategic anchor conversation
  • National Child Protection Task Force — buyer evaluation
  • Hany Farid (UC Berkeley) — advisory board seat
02

Specialized Finding

Q2 2027 — Q4 2027

Phase 2 is where Lighthouse becomes infrastructure. The FIND platforms launch. County CPS and law enforcement become customers. The foundation begins operating Victim ID Workbench with TTF and NCPTF.

Platform launches

  • Beacon OS — county CPS pilot, California first (Q3 2027)
  • Find OS — co-design and pilot with NCPTF (Q1 2027), launch Q2 2027
  • Victim ID Workbench — co-design with TTF + NCPTF (Q4 2026), operational Q2 2027
  • Lighthouse Triage — nonprofit deployment, Q2 2027
  • Shield OS — first two police department pilots, Q3 2027
  • Hosts OS — AAHOA-member hotel group pilot, Q2 2027

Success criteria

  • Beacon OS in active use at 3 county CPS agencies
  • Find OS: 10 active law enforcement users, measurable case-resolution improvement
  • Victim ID Workbench: operating with TTF + NCPTF, zero governance incidents
  • $5M ARR across Inc. commercial platforms
  • Series A closed
  • Foundation receives first $1M+ grant
  • Chief Privacy Officer hired before any federal LOI

Partner milestones

  • Sacramento County DCFS — Beacon OS pilot target
  • Sacramento County Sheriff — Find OS pilot target
  • California ICAC Task Force — Lighthouse Triage + Shield OS
  • AAHOA — Hosts OS hotel group pilot
  • NCMEC — CyberTipline integration live
  • Marinus Analytics — Traffic Jam data license
  • Thorn — Safer Predict integration
03

National Scale

2028+

Phase 3 is infrastructure at scale. State-level CPS contracts. The Continuum Protocol consortium launch. Federal partnerships where appropriate. Lighthouse becomes a durable institution in the child-protection landscape.

Platform launches

  • Continuum Protocol — consortium launch with 3+ founding platform members
  • Beacon OS — state CPS contracts (Phase 3 expansion)
  • Shield OS — national law enforcement distribution via BJA grant pathways
  • Sentinel for Parents — B2C consumer launch
  • Lighthouse Protocol open standard — published, consortium-governed

Success criteria

  • Continuum Protocol: Discord, Roblox, or equivalent as founding consortium member
  • Beacon OS live in 3+ states
  • $25M+ ARR
  • Series B closed
  • Lighthouse Foundation: $10M+ in grants under management
  • Independent ethics audit published annually
  • Zero civil-liberties incidents — ever

Partner milestones

  • Discord — Continuum Protocol founding member candidate
  • Roblox — Continuum Protocol founding member candidate
  • Apple Family Safety — Sentinel distribution
  • AWS Public Sector / Microsoft AI for Good
  • a16z American Dynamism — Series B target
  • Audacious Project — Foundation major grant target
  • State CPS systems — SACWIS integration partners
