How It Works

How It Works

AI + ML that demystifies taxes and budgets

We built this so a middle-schooler can understand where money is collected and where it gets spent.

1) We collect public records

Budgets, payment logs, contracts, and financial reports are pulled from official government sources.

2) Machine learning organizes the mess

ML groups similar line items and vendor names so residents can compare information across years and agencies.

3) AI explains in plain language

AI turns technical finance language into simple summaries and questions people can ask in meetings.

4) Humans verify the signal

We treat AI output as guidance, not truth. Source records stay visible so users can validate conclusions.

Limits and guardrails

  • • AI is an assistant, not a final authority.
  • • Always verify key claims with linked source records.
  • • Pattern flags are prompts for review, not legal conclusions.
