I. THE PLAN?
Suppose we have a 50 citizens who are:
smart, hard working, tech+culture+policy autists
to help provide detailed reports, insights, and concrete action plans with the goal of to provide and/or improve the following
- clean air
- cheap food
- cheap electricity
- cheap healthcare
- cheap housing
- free education
- individual freedom
- equal rights
- roads
- planned urban/rural infrastructure (road network, public transport, sidewalks, parks, libraries)
- clean cities/better waste management
- Smooth and efficient judiciary
what tools can we build for them to empower them to find and gather information faster, identify and learn about systems, policies, bottlenecks, workflow minutae, etc, and enact the changes they want to see
II. FEATURE IDEAS:
Offers dashboards that display key performance indicators (KPIs)
for clean air, food prices, energy costs, healthcare metrics,
housing affordability, education accessibility, and even judicial efficiency.
