Controlled beta
Known Limitations of the Beta
This beta is designed for demonstration and stakeholder feedback. We publish a transparent list of what the platform can and cannot do today so that procurement, information governance and information security teams can make a properly informed assessment.
Current limitations
- Synthetic data only — households, providers, properties, audit records and dashboards are fabricated for demonstration.
- No live resident records or case-management integration.
- No production authentication — the beta login is a demo gate.
- No Microsoft 365 / Azure AD SSO yet.
- No live council system integration (homelessness case management, allocations CBL, finance systems).
- No real document storage — the mock upload records metadata only.
- No real geocoding — map coordinates are derived from borough centroids with deterministic jitter.
- Deterministic AI-style explanations only — there are no real LLM calls in the current beta.
- No real SMS or push notifications, and no allocation-related emails. The only real-email channel is the beta-feedback submission notification (from noreply@jigsawconferences.co.uk, behind a feature flag), which never includes resident, household, allocation or suitability data.
- Reports and procurement dashboards are computed from synthetic demo data only.
- Suitability Form A / Form B / manager review workflows support assessment but do not make statutory decisions.
- CSV and PDF exports are demo-only and watermarked as synthetic.
Future production requirements
- Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)
- Independent security review and penetration testing
- Information governance review by the Controller
- Data retention and deletion policy aligned with the Controller’s schedule
- Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and sub-processor review
- Secure document storage (encryption at rest, malware scanning, access logging)
- Role-based access controls (RBAC) and least-privilege defaults
- Append-only audit policy with HMAC integrity and tamper-evident storage
- Accessibility audit (WCAG 2.2 AA)
- Client-specific workflow configuration (suitability rules, anchors, escalation matrix)
Why publish this? Procurement teams in local authorities and housing associations need to know what a beta does and does not cover. Publishing limitations openly is part of the procurement-safe posture of Jigsaw HousingMatch AI.
