The intelligence layer
for public infrastructure.

Your phone anticipates your needs; your city should too. We turn the administrative data governments already hold into secure, easy-to-use software — surfacing everything from idle emissions and drought to permit backlogs and procurement leakage. Deployed in your cloud in weeks, not quarters or years.

How we work

Three steps. No surprises.

A simple process for all teams.

01
Scope
Two-week sprint to map what's measurable from your CSV and Excel exports, and where the decision-critical gaps actually live.
02
Model
Predictive models built on your data. Code reviewed. Method notes in plain, accessible language — readable by a director, not just a data team.
03
Ship
Containerized software and dashboards deployed into your secure Canadian cloud environment. We stay on to maintain them.
Security, Governance & Deployment
FOIPPA & Protected B
Full alignment with BC’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Every engagement operates to Protected B data-handling and data-governance standards.
100% Canadian Data Residency
Deployed exclusively in AWS, Azure or GCP Canadian regions and data residency zones. Your data never leaves Canadian jurisdiction — guaranteed.
Private by Default
All source code held in private GitHub repositories. IP ownership transfers to you at engagement close — no vendor lock-in, ever.
Zero IT Friction
Containerized delivery that scales into your existing cloud environment. Start with a simple CSV export and grow into live, legacy-system integrations when you’re ready.
