Our current stage
Good Company, in the making.
What is available, what the signals mean, and what comes next.
What is Open Alpha?
An early public proof of concept. You can explore member profiles and proposed experiences, contribute invited testimony, and register interest. An interest request is not a booking, an availability promise, or permission to provide a service.
Where are we starting?
Adult companionship through conversation, creative time, and local outings. Older adults are welcome within the same activity scope. Dedicated childcare, dependent-care support, transport, and overnight travel are future directions.
What does member-described, community-witnessed mean?
Members describe themselves. Witnesses describe what they directly know. Each contribution has its own source and scope; publication does not turn a statement into independent verification.
Are qualifications verified?
We do not routinely independently verify credentials during Open Alpha. Training, degrees, licenses, and practice experience are labeled member-reported. A supporting link does not mean Good Company authenticated it. Dates and expiry matter.
Is Foundations required?
Certified Foundations coursework is postponed and is not an alpha publication requirement. Participation, publication, and an earlier waiver do not mean someone completed a course.
What does publication mean?
A steward has allowed the profile or proposed offering to appear in this prototype. Publication is not a professional credential, background check, or authorization to provide care. Higher-responsibility proposals do not become operational through a disclaimer.
How do testimonials work?
Members invite people to describe firsthand experience with them or a particular offering. Authors identify their relationship and consent to public use; stewards moderate contributions. These are selected community recommendations, not a comprehensive client review record. Community voting is planned, not yet available.
Who sees an interest request?
You and Good Company stewards can see your request. It is not public. Stewards coordinate follow-up; your contact details are not automatically shared with the member. You can withdraw through My requests.
What are our shared expectations?
Describe experience honestly, update information when it changes, respect consent and boundaries, and disclose relevant relationships when contributing testimony. Do not include someone else’s private information without permission.
How can I raise a concern?
Use Questions or concerns to contact the steward team privately. You can ask for a correction, request removal of testimony, or flag a problem. This inbox is not an emergency service.
What are we learning?
Whether people understand the offering, find useful context about the person, and want to participate. Our next operational pilots will need explicit arrangements and support processes before they are offered.
