Civic tools & systems
Dashboards, indices, and public-interest products for national capacity, local democracy, public finance, and civic memory.
Manufacturing Independence Index
A public, auditable index for whether the United States can make the critical goods and inputs it depends on.
MII is a public dashboard for a simple but hard question: if the United States needed to make something critical, could it?
It is built for staffers, analysts, and anyone trying to see where American supply chains are strong, where they are fragile, and what the evidence actually says.
Local Political Elections
A free public information center for who is running, what offices exist, and how ordinary people can file for local office.
The project is built around official source coverage rather than one-off scrapers: counties, municipalities, election boards, candidate lists, filing calendars, and office structures.
Current coverage work is already mapping tens of thousands of jurisdictions and hundreds of thousands of local positions, with ground-truth expansion focused on the sources that can keep the system current.
Open current deployment. Final domain coming.
DC Budget Tracker
A transparency dashboard that turns public audit reports and contract data into a clearer picture of recurring fiscal failures.
The tracker organizes findings from DC Auditor reports, the DC Office of the Inspector General, Open Data DC, and contract records into a public-facing research surface.
The early dataset highlights major findings across affordable housing, COVID relief, education controls, event finances, and health-program oversight. The point is not outrage theater; it is a searchable civic memory for what went wrong, what was recommended, and whether it was fixed.
Open current deployment. Final domain coming.
Forming
Building Monuments
A public monument program beginning with The American Hero's Journey, with The American Veterans Monument as the national long path.
The current sequencing is pragmatic: build a privately funded, publicly visitable Hero's Journey monument first, then use that credibility, donor base, renderings, and advisory network toward the larger Veterans Monument.
The work is still early, but the aim is concrete: a real place, real names, real symbols, and a monument that people can visit.
