Government data is technically public, but functionally private.

Most Americans know these decisions affect their lives, but lack the time and expertise to decode the system.

The Problem

  • Labyrinthine Portals

    Bills are buried deep in .gov directories that are nearly impossible to navigate on mobile.

  • Dense Legalese

    Written in a way that requires a law degree to parse meaning from the amendments.

  • No Time

    You are busy. You do not have the hours required to track what is moving in Congress.
