Better policy making through data and AI
Our mission is to use data to improve institutional decision-making at the macro level.
We use proprietary real-time, granular socioeconomic data to create products that enable central and local governments to make more informed data-driven policy decisions.
The Problem
Readily available economic data feeds cannot meet decision-makers’ demands.
The status quo for policy makers today is broken
Today, multi-million dollar decisions are made with minimal visibility. Decision-makers rely on diagnostic and monitoring data that is:
Delayed (lag current economic reality by 3 to 24 months)
Infrequent (updated quarterly or biannually)
High-level (available only at country or regional levels)
Inaccurate (estimated using only a handful of select data indicators)

Innovations in data can meet new demands
COVID-19 has placed unprecedented pressure for policies to be faster, flexible, and more accurately targeted.
Citizens increasingly expect policies to be more swift and reactive to changing conditions.
Real-time data streams are now more readily accessible (e.g., satellite data, economic data etc.)
Innovations in AI and ML algorithm technologies have increased prediction accuracy
There is value left on the table - the US gov could gain $1 trillion by better using data analytics*
