In our work, we learned the hard way that the first stage must be *understanding the real problem* from the community, not just the technical one. For example, everyone said to track student attendance with an app, but the real issue was children missing school to collect forest produce. So we built a simple SMS alert system for midday meal days instead—attendance improved because the incentive was right! That fancy app would have been a waste.
