The Problem

Your data already has the answers.
Your systems can't reach them.

Data silos

Six departments. Six identifiers. One property.

Assessor, water, health, building, meetings, GIS — each uses a different key for the same parcel.

Blind spots

Risks hide between departments.

Flood-zone properties with expired septic. Oil-heated homes with elderly residents. All invisible in silos.

Slow response

Months to answer urgent questions.

Which neighborhoods have energy vulnerability? Where should emergency resources go? Nobody can answer fast.

Lost revenue

Millions leave the tax base every year.

Assessment errors, non-compliant properties, missed fees — compounding annually, undetected.

How It Works

A digital twin of your municipality.
Every parcel. Every record. Queryable.

We read from your existing systems — never replace them — and unify everything to a single parcel key.

Energy Resilience
“Which residents are most vulnerable if heating fuel prices spike 40%?”
Energy vulnerability mapping

Cross-references heating type, home value, owner status, system age across every parcel:

  • 1,000+ oil-heated homes identified town-wide
  • Vulnerability scored by heating cost burden
  • Resident vs. absentee ownership filtered
  • Clustered geographically for installer efficiency
  • $100K grant allocation optimized across tiers

Replaces months of energy planning consultant work.

Emergency & Environmental Planning
“Show me every property in flood-prone areas with vulnerable residents.”
Environmental risk mapping

Layers environmental constraints, property data, and community context into one model:

  • Wetlands, aquifers, flood zones from state/county data
  • Septic variances and Title 5 compliance status
  • Cross-parcel geospatial constraint analysis
  • Owner residency — who's there during a storm?
  • Meeting mentions of environmental concerns

Exportable as shapefiles for GIS or CSV for emergency management.

Assessment Equity
“Find assessment patterns that shift tax burden onto lower-income residents.”
Assessment integrity

Connects decades of records to surface systemic inequities:

  • Inspector patterns — who gets favorable assessments
  • Depreciation anomalies across property classes
  • Effective-year resets with no documentation
  • COD analysis against IAAO fairness standards
  • $5.2M annually in unprotected revenue found

Equitable assessment is the foundation of community trust.

One Platform. Any Question.

The same system answers all of these.

Housing

“Where can we add 50 ADU units without rezoning?”

Parcel eligibility, basement capacity, ownership, zoning — policy-ready in seconds.

Energy

“Allocate $100K in heat pump grants to the most vulnerable.”

Heating type, home value, residency — optimized across tiers.

Emergency

“Which neighborhoods have the most elderly residents in flood zones?”

Environmental layers + demographics + infrastructure age.

Compliance

“Find every unpermitted short-term rental owned by an LLC.”

893 found in one town. $5.2M in annual revenue recovered.

Infrastructure

“Which water mains serve the most properties with no backup?”

Utility data + parcel density + community impact — prioritized.

Community

“What are residents saying about the new development?”

Every speaker, every meeting, linked to properties and topics.
