Sponsored civic data tooling

Relevant tools for records requests, local meeting tracking, and civic workflows. Sponsored placement does not affect platform findings.

The public pays for government, but rarely gets a clear view into how it spends.

Budget records are fragmented, buried in PDFs, and hard to interpret across agencies and fiscal years.

The old way

  • Fragmented PDFs
  • Disconnected tables
  • Manual spreadsheet cleanup
  • Low public readability

The new way

  • Search-first discovery
  • Linked vendors + contracts
  • AI explanations with evidence
  • Pattern-based monitoring
