CIVIC LENS
FOR MUNICIPAL PARTNERSCIVIC TRANSPARENCY, MADE READABLE
Your city's record,
traced to its source.
Civic Lens uses AI to read the budgets, bylaws, council minutes and contracts your city already publishes — then turns them into plain language where every figure links straight back to the document it came from.
How it works
Structures the facts
Pulls out every dollar, vote and decision — mapped to the right department, councillor and date.
Links the source
Each figure carries a chip to the exact document, page and the AI step that read it. Nothing is left unsourced.
Invites a challenge
Think the AI got it wrong? Request a human review — the datapoint is flagged publicly until a person resolves it.
