Food security, whether school loses out to the harvest, and whether a shock arrives as a warning or a surprise: three questions that usually live in three different systems. This one combines them into a single explainable score, grounded in real household signals and a live weather feed, built to route support toward a household.
Food security, school continuity and climate exposure are usually scored by three different programmes that never talk to each other. Here they are one record, so nobody falls through the gap between them.
The score routes outreach toward a household; it never removes a household from a programme, flags a family to any authority, or substitutes for a caseworker's judgment. A low score means "check on this household sooner," nothing else.
Thresholds are set with local county and school level partners, not imported wholesale from another context, and the climate module is anchored to a live public feed rather than a static assumption.
Every household record already inside AgriKonnekt carries the signals this index needs. Nothing new to collect, just a different lens on data the system already has consent to see.
Food & nutrition security, school continuity & child labour risk, and climate shock exposure each produce their own sub score, four signals apiece, so no single weak signal can quietly sink the whole picture.
Rainfall and temperature for the household's county are pulled from a public weather feed in real time, not a seasonal average, so the score moves with the actual sky overhead.
A school, county office, or NGO partner sees the composite and all three sub scores, and decides where a home visit, a bursary application, or an early alert is most useful this week.
The index cannot be used to remove a household from aid, insurance, or any programme. It exists only to prioritise attention toward a household, never to withdraw it.
No child is named, tracked individually, or profiled. Every signal is scored at the household level, encrypted in transit and at rest.
Tier boundaries are reviewed with local school and county partners who understand the season on the ground, not fixed once by an engineer far from it.
A household can pause or leave scoring entirely with a single request. Nothing about their access to any AgriKonnekt system depends on staying scored.
A simplified, illustrative version of the scoring engine. The climate module's first slider starts from the live weather feed above, real numbers, edit it and it stops following the feed.
Basic food security is holding but shocks would still bite; keep monitoring through the lean season.
Some protective factors in place, but harvest season pressure could still interrupt schooling.
Some warning and buffer capacity exists; a shock would still be hard, but not blind.
Illustrative only. The production model scores against verified household data and the live weather feed directly; this panel lets you feel how the three modules combine.
"We used to find out a child had stopped coming weeks after it happened. Now the school continuity score gives us a reason to check in before that gap opens."
"The rainfall number is not a guess anymore. When the feed turns red for our ward, we already know which households to call first."
"Nobody's ever taken my child off a programme because of a number. It is only ever brought someone to our door sooner."
Better to launch three well validated modules than ten untested ones. More arrive once local partners confirm the thresholds hold up across a full season.

A working prototype, open licensing, and publicly exposed, measurable real time data, built at the exact intersection of food security, education continuity and climate resilience that a fund reviewing this space is already scoring applications against.
