During the first reporting period, Minority Report focused on establishing the technical, social, and organisational foundations required to deliver a people‑centred digital resilience platform. Strong emphasis was placed on early engagement with communities, practitioners, and public authorities across the three demonstration sites in Dublin, Patras, and Wellington. These activities generated insights into local vulnerabilities, behavioural patterns, infrastructure interdependencies, and data gaps, which directly informed the design of models, workflows, and user‑facing tools.
In parallel, the project developed a comprehensive analytical framework for multi‑hazard risk and resilience assessment. New methodologies were established to characterise physical, social, and behavioural vulnerability in a consistent manner across hazards and geographic contexts. This approach enables risks to be assessed not only in terms of physical impacts, but also human behaviour and systemic dependencies, supporting the prioritisation of interventions and evidence‑based decision‑making.
Significant progress was made in developing the project’s digital infrastructure. A common digital architecture and data environment were defined to integrate climate projections, hazard models, building information, and stakeholder‑derived data. This work established shared data flows, interoperability rules, and standards, laying the groundwork for secure data management and coherent cross‑module integration within a single platform.
Building on these foundations, the project delivered prototype versions of its core predictive and decision‑support tools. These include climate and extreme‑event modelling, people‑centred risk and resilience assessment methods, behavioural and mobility prediction tools, physics‑based building performance simulations, probabilistic early‑warning approaches, and an integrated renovation road‑mapping decision‑support system. Together, these prototypes demonstrate the project’s capacity to simulate complex hazard scenarios, model human responses, and assess adaptation and renovation strategies in a coordinated way.
Finally, Minority Report established initial structures to support long‑term impact, including communication, dissemination, knowledge management, and exploitation planning activities. Project visibility was enhanced through coordinated outreach, clustering with related initiatives, and participation in international events. Early exploitation and business‑model frameworks were developed to support future uptake, positioning the project to move from foundational development toward full integration, validation, and real‑world demonstration in the next phase.
