Common Activation Issues

Troubleshooting

Understanding Your Territory

Your exclusive geographic area

• • Your licensed_geography defines exact boundaries where you can operate
• • Territory defined by: Country, State, County, City, and/or Zip Codes
• • Territory Scope indicates your level: Community, City, County, State, or Country
• • Example: If scope='county' and location='Travis County, Texas', you can only work in Travis County
• • If scope='community' with zip codes listed, you can only work in those specific zip codes
• • All geographic data is stored in your SentinelCredential record
• • Territory is EXCLUSIVE - no other Sentinels in same area (unless sub-territory assigned)

Territory Boundaries Enforcement

How the system enforces boundaries

• • When you submit a client audit: System extracts client location
• • System compares client location against your licensed_geography
• • If IN BOUNDS: Audit accepted, you can conduct it
• • If OUT OF BOUNDS: Audit rejected, you cannot access client data
• • Out-of-bounds attempts logged in ComplianceAuditLog with your name
• • Core HQ monitors violations automatically
• • Repeated violations can trigger credential suspension or revocation

Compliance Rules

Critical rules you must follow

• • NEVER conduct audits outside your licensed territory
• • NEVER attempt to access clients outside your area
• • NEVER share or use other Sentinels' credentials
• • NEVER operate outside your license expiration date
• • NEVER conduct business if your credential status is 'suspended' or 'revoked'
• • NEVER share client audit data with unauthorized parties
• • NEVER violate data confidentiality agreements
• • All activity monitored - violations recorded and reported to your Licensor

What Triggers Compliance Issues

7. Client is also notified that you're assigned
8. You can now view client data and begin audit

Conducting the Audit

Your process for reviewing client data

1. 1. Review client submission on your dashboard
2. 2. Verify client location is within your territory
3. 3. Review all submitted data (survey responses, attachments, metrics)
4. 4. If data seems incomplete: Contact client for clarification
5. 5. Analyze data against audit criteria for their type
6. 6. Document your findings and recommendations
