Follow the guide in case you present the Sandbox to people with little to no knowledge of GovStack. However, introducing them to the basic idea and terminology is needed beforehand.
The intro page gives context information (e.g. on use case)
Click on “Open Simulation”
Talking Points
The Use Case simulation explains the GovStack Building Block approach in a non-tech tangible way even though the magic lies in the backend/architecture
The artificial browser window simulates the civil servant and citizen perspective on a Social Cash Transfer use case
In this case, the civil servant gets to review a candidate and ask for information validation in order to decide eligibility
After changing perspective, the citizen (green color) is asked to validate information and submit eligibility review
Side-bar on the right tells us which BB are being used
Green buttons open how BB are interacting
Info buttons next to the BB open further descriptions
The Sandbox offers technical teams from Governments to learn, test and replicate a GovStack-based implementation
Learn based on the Demos, Code and Documentation how one can implement based on the GovSpecs and GovStack Playbook
Test and Prototype an own use case based on the Guides, Examples and Coded Applications
Replicate selected or all components based on application and Building Block Software repositories
Point to the different menu sections
Use cases demonstrate certain aspects of the GovStack approach
Social Cash Transfer: Vertical implementation through the whole stack from Frontend over BB to Infrastructure with 5 BB Software (3 DPI and 2 DPGs) integrated
Construction Permit: In cooperation with Government of Djibouti an end-to-end use case focused on best practice service design and accessibility (mobile-first)
Methodology section for supporting assets
Do It Yourself: Guides to prototype a use case in various ways (depth of the stack)
Service Design Practice: Example on how to follow the GovStack Playbook from User Journey to Frontend App (outcome is the Construction Permit Demo)
Explore stack to know, how the sandbox is build (esp. Social Cash Transfer Use Case)
Every page is describing a layer: How we build it, where we demo it and what decisions we took
Every layer has the respective Github Repositories linked to review the code
Use case used to create a technical demo of whole stack from Frontend over BB to Infrastructure with 5 BB Software (3 DPI and 2 DPGs) integrated

Unconditional Social Cash Transfer (USCT) programs are cash payments provided to financially disadvantaged or vulnerable people or households
GovStack features demonstrated are example implementation of BB Specs, Interoperable and adapted Open Source Software, Architectural Best Practices, Hosting Infrastructure
Frontend (view of government officers) can be accessed publicly. Backend of all Building Blocks cannot only be shown by GovStack staff due to security issues.
Components used for the demo are visualized and listed at the bottom. More information on the components can be found in the menu under “Explore Stack”
