This is the cavalier attitude that concerns me. If we are talking about predicting what wines people like than saying we believe scale will be critical is fine. When talking about something that will have a major impact on the lives of unwilling participants, you'd like to see at least some rigor.

People being Parolees or on bail doesn't make a difference to my point.

You don't think the care plan Promise creates will have a positive impact on those that go through the program?
The parent said that qualitative and quantitative analysis will be used, and that technology is not the only solution. That is hardly cavalier imo.
What rigor would look like to me is something like:
(1) Do a historical analysis of who skips court and why.
(2) Come up with a plausible intervention strategy to solve problems identified in (1)
(3) Test your strategy in a well designed pilot and calculate it's effectiveness
(4) Validate your pilot results on a larger scale
(5) Offer your product commercially nationwide
Your calendar thing might be useful. But not as a part of the bail system. Bail must go.
Is there any public post, news, or data available yet on the work you're doing in Kentucky?
