Thiruvanmiyur, a Friday in September

The listing said ground floor. It did not mention the four steps.

“Ground floor. Fully accessible.”

Written by the restaurant. Never checked by anyone who had to get through the door.

There is a side ramp. It is behind the kitchen, and it is locked after 7 pm.
Arcot HouseFour steps. 96 cm. No ramp.

One honest line would have saved the evening: four steps at the front, no ramp, side door locked after 7.

Four facts, in the order you decide by.

Entrance, lift, toilet, parking — each with the date it was last checked and how many people checked it.

A tick and the word “Verified”. The green is the third signal, never the only one.

Twenty-six days old, so it says so and steps back to amber. Nothing here pretends to be fresh.

The mall’s desk is on the card. Ramp reports; it never promises.

Two kerbs. Both have ramps. Someone went and looked.

The route is drawn as a diagram, not a street map: thick lines, named ramps, and the footpaths it refuses to send you down.

5th Cross, dug upReported by 3 people, 14 Sep
Why the line bends here

The short way down 5th Cross has been dug up since 14 September. Ramp goes round by 4th Cross instead: 90 m longer, and a ramp at the far kerb.

Twenty-six minutes is wheeling time, not a car’s. Footpath works change weekly, so every report carries its date.

Four taps on the way out, and the next person knows.

Every question is a picture with a word under it, and a fact needs two people before it loses its amber.

A 4px focus ring on every control, for switch and keyboard users. It is never turned off.

Two questions of four are done, and it saves itself as you go.

The photo is optional. Faces are blurred before it is saved, and nothing is posted under your name.

The broken ones stay on the list.

A toilet that is locked is worth knowing about. Hiding it just means you wheel there to find out.

Still unsure? Call the mall desk and ask for the east ramp.

Four facts, each with a date and a headcount. A fact with no date is not a fact, so Ramp never shows one.

Ramp reports what people saw, with a date on it. It is not a guarantee — when it matters, call the place and ask.
