How every story is made

  1. We start with the public record

    Meeting video, agendas, budgets, and records released by local governments. If a reader cannot open it, we do not use it.

  2. AI reads, and a second model checks

    AI models from different companies pull out the motions, votes, and dollar amounts. When they disagree, a person decides.

  3. A person validates before it runs

    Every sentence is checked against its source. The person who checked it is named on the story. Read how we work.
