The submission features highly exaggerated and unsupported claims ('most people have used my product', target audience of 'everyone', nonsensical market cap figures). Despite a stated launch date of 2017, core functionalities are still described as 'in development.' While the underlying concept of an HR diversity policy aggregator holds niche utility, the lack of verifiable traction, vague technical descriptions, and poor response quality result in a low PoU score.

Project Details

Description
DiversityPolicy.com is a content aggregator and data sequencer (a search engine), which is powered by automation systems and machine learning processes. We offer information that impacts with an initial focus on human resource documents in higher education. Features in development include content curation, a job board, conference features, consulting offerings, data insights (e.g., white papers), and user dashboards. This is an early iteration of what will eventually become a multifaceted automation software system aimed at curating content enterprise and public sector partners. Along with annotations and peer reviews of diversity policy, the site will provide an easily navigable and perpetually growing citable guide to advance equal opportunity, inclusiveness, and safety in organizations. This utility and cache of information will create opportunities for developing content analyses, frequency analyses, and statistical analyses that better inform our users of trends, developments, discrepancies, policy gaps, and opportunities to advance critical policy. Diversity Policy offers “information that impacts.” After launching upcoming features that include content curations (e.g., scholarly and popular press articles pertaining to diversity policy), and a job board, among other features, the site will propel purposeful consulting and conferencing. Ultimately, Diversity Policy will serve as a community for advancing policy knowledge, insights, and resources that address organizational equity. Future endeavors will extend to impact-based “communities of practice” (e.g., emergency management workers, firefighters, and non-profit organizations).
