Earn, learn, and stabilize — a path to opportunity. Shelterix is not a donation platform: businesses buy AI-augmented labor and hire pipelines; workers get paid tasks, credits, and credentials from day one.

Platform register 001Two flywheels — money and growth — both end-to-end. English/Spanish and large-text accessibility ship in the product app.

00 — Loops

Money turns. Growth turns.

Money

Business posts work → worker claims → AI-assisted draft → human QA → paid to wallet → auto-save and mobility bonus → employer billed. Margin splits into recruitment, hardship reserve, training match, and worker-mobility.

Growth

Recruit → stabilize → consistency streak → train → hire-readiness coach → offers and retention. Two-sided trust: workers rate employers; fair employers surface first.

01 — Platform

Surfaces that turn end to end.

Worker, employer, and admin share one foundation: auth, credentials, wallet, and AI agents with deterministic fallbacks. English/Spanish and large-text accessibility ship in the product app.

W1 Shelterix Work Paid AI micro-tasks and local-service shifts — including multi-worker crews and recurring regular work with check-in, checklist, and photo proof.
W2 Learn Knowledge Atlas from life skills to deep paths, plus AI Operator I and employer-sponsored cohorts.
W3 Wallet Cash, meal and transport credits, savings goals with an IDA-style match, cash-out queue, and mobility bonuses.
W4 Stability Command Center Merges plan progress, runway, open referrals, hardship, and benefits-cliff signals into ranked next actions on Today.
E1 Hire & sponsor Employers post work, sponsor cohorts, make offers, and track placements. Worker-given trust ratings surface fair employers first.
L1 Local economy Nearby market and courier lanes where workers keep delivery fees and tips. Needs Map surfaces free goods and support partners with an evidence chain.
V1 Verify Public credential verification by username — proof of training and work history without a résumé theater.
02 — Guardrails

AI advises. Humans approve.

Agents match tasks, coach learning, flag churn risk, estimate benefits cliffs, and check safety — with deterministic fallbacks so a mock provider never blocks the loop. Money and support stay human-gated.

Payouts

Every cash-out and task payment clears a human QA or admin queue before it hits the wallet.

Support

Housing and food referrals, hardship grants, and safety incidents require human resolution — AI does not auto-approve.

Appeals

Rejected work can be appealed. Dispute resolution stays on the admin ledger, not buried in a model score.

03 — Why it exists

Capitalist flywheel, not charity theater.

For businesses

Affordable AI-augmented labor, local services, training pipelines, and future hires — billed for work delivered.

For workers

Paid tasks from day one, simple AI tools, credits, credentials, and a hire-readiness path you can inspect.

For Ephemerent
