Its dissertation section compares Chicago 311 reports with designated landmarks; the accompanying three-step graphic is explicitly labeled “schematic · not real data.” A proposed next phase would route players to low-visibility landmarks for civic tasks, while accessibility controls include motion, contrast, text-size, and link-underlining options.
