Desks

Each desk pulls public facts together for one kind of work. Pick the one that fits what you do. We’ll keep adding more.

CareSite Ops

See which nursing homes need help first
The problem Staffing gaps, empty beds, and inspection problems are hard to spot when they're buried in long reports.
What you get A short list of the nursing homes that need attention most, with the reasons why.

People who run or oversee a group of nursing homes.

Health Markets

See which areas are growing and where care is thin
The problem Facts about patients, competitors, and costs are scattered, so it's hard to compare one area to another.
What you get Counties compared side by side on health care, growth, and costs, in plain language.

Hospital and health system leaders planning where to add or keep services.

Health Care Loans & Sales

See the buildings, deals, and operators behind care-facility loans and sales
The problem Loan records, owner names, and facility quality all sit in different places, so it's hard to see the full picture.
What you get Each loan tied to the building behind it, with quality and ownership facts in one view.

Lenders, buyers, sellers, and brokers who finance or trade nursing homes and other care facilities.

Business & Site Planning

Size up a place for a business
The problem Facts about customers, workers, wages, competition, loans, and costs are on a dozen different agency websites, so understanding a place takes weeks.
What you get One desk for the whole picture: who the customers are, who you can hire and what they earn, what it costs, where SBA loans are going, and the best ZIP codes and sites.

Small business owners and economic developers sizing up a place: customers, workers, costs, and money.

Region Brief

Profile any county, metro, or state — and see how it compares
The problem A board meeting, grant application, or site proposal needs a clear profile of a place, but the facts are spread across dozens of government files — and nobody knows which places to compare against.
What you get Pick a metro area, a state, or any group of counties and get one plain-English profile: people, income, jobs, housing, health care, and risk — next to the places most like it.

Economic developers, planners, chambers of commerce, consultants, and grant writers.

Disaster Readiness

See which hazards threaten a place, who needs help, and how ready it is
The problem Planning for floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, heat, and winter storms means pulling FEMA risk ratings, storm history, and who lives where from different agencies, usually right before you need them.
What you get One readiness report for any county or region you build: FEMA's risk and resilience ratings, the hazards that cost the most, what actually hit since 2020, and the people and facilities that need help first.

Emergency managers, county and city planners, hospitals and care operators, insurers, lenders, and grant writers.

Rural Development

See how a rural place is doing, what it qualifies for, and where the money is
The problem Rural work runs on eligibility rules and grant deadlines spread across USDA, HRSA, Treasury, and dozens of agencies, and on county facts that are hard to line up. It takes days to answer "do we qualify, and who got money for this before?"
What you get One place to see a county's story, its official rural labels, what a specific address qualifies for, the federal rural money that reached it, and the grants open now or all year.

Economic developers, grant writers, rural hospitals and clinics, co-ops, community foundations, and local officials.

Legislative

See what laws and rules are changing, and who decides
The problem New laws and federal rules can change how you do business, but they are buried in thousands of pages, and the chance to comment is easy to miss.
What you get Bills, federal rules, comment deadlines, and the people who represent you, in plain English and sorted by the topics you care about.

Business owners, nonprofits, local officials, and anyone who wants a say in what Washington decides.

Farm & Food Markets

See which food categories are about to get more expensive, and why
The problem Food price jumps — eggs in 2024–25, beef this year — show up first in farm supply, farm and wholesale prices, and USDA's forecasts — spread across a dozen USDA and BLS reports nobody has time to watch every week.
What you get One screen per food category: store price, farm and wholesale price, supply, and USDA's forecast, with a flag when the signals that came before past price jumps line up. Plus drought, disasters, and crop insurance for every farm county.

Food buyers, grocers, restaurants, food makers, ag lenders, co-ops, and farm-county economic developers.

Second Look

Line up public records from different agencies and see where they don't match
The problem Each agency keeps its own records. A trucking company tells FMCSA it has one truck, while roadside inspectors see hundreds under its number. Federal money lands at addresses shared by dozens of groups. Nobody lines the records up side by side.
What you get Second Look puts records from different agencies next to each other and points out where they don't agree: registered fleet vs. trucks seen, trucks moving from one DOT number to another, and federal money followed from agency to recipient.

Reporters, auditors, inspectors general, grant and safety reviewers, and anyone who follows public money.
