1. Tell the story
Start in plain English. The guided workflow asks who was impacted, what happened, when it happened, what you have tried, and what outcome you are hoping for.
How It Works
Share your story. Build a case file. Leave with a plan.
USDWatch is built for parents who are trying to make sense of school records, emails, meetings, discipline issues, bullying concerns, disability supports, retaliation worries, and unanswered records requests. The first outcome is a private Self-Advocacy Packet you can review and use to prepare.
2. Add evidence
Use the Evidence Locker for emails, PDFs, screenshots, IEP or 504 documents, incident reports, meeting notes, photos, and agency letters.
3. Get a packet
The system returns a structured case summary, evidence strength, missing records, records request drafts, questions to ask, and practical next steps.
What USDWatch looks for
Evidence strength
Which claims are supported by documents, which are based on memory or hearsay, and which need stronger records before a parent relies on them.
Timeline anchors
Dates, meetings, notices, emails, incidents, decisions, and follow-up gaps that help turn a stressful story into a usable sequence.
Records to request
Missing emails, policies, meeting notes, incident reports, special education records, agency letters, and district materials that may clarify what happened.
Next best action
Questions to ask the school, meeting prep, possible escalation paths, and support preferences for attorney, advocate, media, or parent-group review.
Why the base tier is free
Parents often need clarity before they know whether to call an attorney, file a records request, ask for a meeting, contact an advocate, or simply organize what they already have. The free tier is meant to make that first step useful without a credit card.
Organization plans are intended to fund the infrastructure. Private family case files are not the product being sold.
Important limits
- USDWatch is informational and does not provide legal advice.
- AI output can be wrong, incomplete, or too confident.
- Evidence Locker files are private to your workspace unless you explicitly choose to share a limited summary for support review.
- Attorney, media, advocacy, and parent-group routing is opt-in and manual, not automatic.
