Cities
Residents who know what’s coming — without you running a newsroom.
Cover the whole catchment: council, commissions, and special districts. Cited agenda highlights with official packet links. Email, a place-branded site, or both.
What does your staff see — and what do residents open?
Same catchment week, two framings: a staff pulse for who’s meeting and what’s posted, and a resident brief they can explain to a neighbor — “I knew before the hearing.”

Why do cities buy this?
Transparency residents can finish
Posting agendas isn’t enough if nobody finds them. You get a single, readable week view that points back to official packets.
The bodies residents actually live under
Special districts and commissions shape water, fire, and land use. Catchment coverage means you’re not only advertising your own meeting page.
Cited, not spun
Highlights link to the source. We don’t invent votes or dollar claims from agendas alone — so you aren’t stuck defending fiction.
| Signal | What “working” looks like |
|---|---|
| Week one | Staff can open the place site and see every confirmed body with an official agenda link |
| Month one | Residents (or subscribers) mention a hearing before it hits the paper |
| Ongoing | Broken agenda URLs get fixed in ops — the map doesn’t silently rot |
