Government budgets are public. Council decisions are public. But nobody has connected them — transaction to decision, dollar to vote. That's what contributors do here.
Think Wikipedia, but for the accountability chain between public money and the decisions that authorized it. Every link you make is permanent, public, and credited to you.
Every contribution moves the platform closer to a complete picture of how public money flows through decisions and into the world. You don't need to do everything — pick what fits your skills and interest.
Find a transaction that's missing its decision link. Match it to the council Item, meeting, or vote that authorized the spend. This is the core work — and the hardest data to find anywhere else.
Pull budget line items, transaction records, or council decisions from official government documents and enter them into the platform. Grows the database that everything else depends on.
Review data others have entered. Flag errors, suggest corrections, or confirm accuracy. The platform only becomes trustworthy when the community checks each other's work.
Set up the profile for a government body or civic org that isn't yet on the platform. Includes jurisdiction, structure, positions, and initial budget data.
The platform's central government posts structured Jobs — specific tasks with a defined scope. Browse open jobs and claim one.
Spot a data gap or a missing relationship between records? Submit a Suggestion. If it's accepted and acted on, you get credit for starting the chain.
The contribution flow is a guided search, not a data-entry form. You aren't creating records from scratch — you're linking records that already exist. The work is recognition, not recall.
On any org page, the money-to-decision chain is laid out — and incomplete links are visible. Find one you can help with.
Search the records that already exist and choose the right one. One tap. No forms to fill.
The community verifies your link, then it goes live on the page — credited to you.
Every contribution is logged against your account and visible on your public profile. Your name appears on the data you connected — permanently. The accountability chain you're building includes you.
Every link you make is credited to you, permanently — part of the public record you're helping build.
Every chain you've closed, gathered on one shareable page. Recognition you can point to — not a points dashboard.
As you contribute, you unlock higher-trust contributions, moderation, and a say in how the platform evolves.
A contribution currency is planned for later — for now, the record and the recognition are the reward.
The data is out there. It just hasn't been connected yet. That's the work — and it matters.
