Every day, a group of editors studies signals about victims and divides them into categories: there are problems with only hypothetical negative consequences in the "gray zone", there are irreversible consequences in the "black zone". In other zones ("yellow", "orange", "red", "purple"), problems are divided depending on the number of signals.

The authors of the project mention a decrease in the number of blood donors, an increase in domestic violence, fines for fake news for the media, fraud related to coronavirus, losses of entrepreneurs, and loss of life among the most common problems caused by the restrictions due to coronavirus.

— The problems that combating coronavirus has led to are still not sufficiently covered. This is a journalistic routine, and we have made it large-scale, public, and well-dressed. The result is a mosaic of problems. The project is valuable for a wide audience as the opportunity to signal about a problem, for journalists — the opportunity to find new approaches for publications, for human rights activists and NPOs — the opportunity to craft a strategy of reacting to events, for the authorities — to prevent the aggravation of the problems. Using the project, we expect to get a flow of external signals about problems. We plan that new journalistic stories will be born from it.

The Public Verdict Human Rights Foundation prepared a template for appealing court decisions on fines for violating the self-isolation regime during the coronavirus pandemic on April 27.
