Why not just do it yourself

The AI is the easy part. We spent the hard hours making it reliable — so you don't have to.

Sure — open a chatbot and ask what's moving in Barrow County. You'll get a confident paragraph, with no way to know if a word of it is true, and nothing waiting for you next week.

What we built is an engine. It scans every commission, planning board, and water authority across five counties and five platforms, pulls the rezonings, budget lines, and bids out of hundreds of pages, and checks each one against the source before it ships. It's tuned to know a buried “GEFA loan modification” means a sewer job is coming — and to skip the noise. And we extend and retune it every week, as government sites change and coverage grows. That's the part a chatbot will never be.

You're not paying for software — you're paying us to find it, read it, verify it, and hand it to you finished. So you never sit through a Monday-night meeting or dig through an agenda PDF again.

  • Coverage
    17+ government bodies across 5 counties and 5 different agenda platforms — mapped, so nothing falls through.
  • Verification
    Every item links to the source document. If we can't verify it at a URL, it doesn't run.
  • Cadence
    Scanned every week, on schedule — not the one time you remembered to ask.
  • Meaning
    We read the record for what becomes work — and when — not just what was said.
The coverage map

What we watch, and where it lives.

Every jurisdiction publishes to its own platform, on its own schedule, in its own format. That fragmentation is exactly why no one firm keeps up — and exactly what we've mapped.

Judge it yourself

Don't take our word. Read a real issue.

Issue Nº 001 is public — every signal above and a dozen more, each linked to the agenda it came from. If it doesn't show you something you didn't know, don't subscribe.

Subscribe

It's a hire, not a subscription.

For $49 a month you've got a full-time research desk on your five counties — reading every agenda, flagging every job, filing a report every Monday. About what one hour of someone's time costs, for a month of their work. And one job found early pays for years of it.

Coverage honesty

Every issue lists exactly which government bodies we scanned. If a body isn't on the list, we don't claim it — no vague “full coverage” promises. And if we miss something material that was on our list, that month is free. The whole product is trust; we treat it that way.
