Local, sovereign deployments of Civic AI and CAP

Civic AI becomes meaningful only when it is embedded in real communities — running locally, preserved through attestation, and shaped by the people it serves.
This section highlights how lightweight infrastructure and relational AI already deliver value in the field today.

We present two kinds of examples:

• Case Studies — Live referenceable deployments operating now.

• Use Cases — Proven patterns showing where CAP + Civic AI strengthen institutions, businesses, and community services.

Across all sites, the pattern is consistent:  local AI, running offline, creates immediate economic and social impact.

📘 Case Studies (Live Deployments)

1. Local Pharmacy (Active Site)

A complete CAP node running on a ten-year-old laptop now manages the entire pharmacy operation — inventory, point-of-sale, analytics, and daily attestation.
The local Civic AI assists staff, reduces errors, and provides continuity in a low-resource, high-demand environment.
