Service to citizens, measured honestly.

Conversational analytics for state, county, and city agencies — turning permit, case, 311, fiscal, and program data into the answers your director, council, and constituents need without three weeks of records-request work.

PERMITS 311 CASES GIS TRANSPARENCY · LIVE

Agencies hold the data. Constituents and councils wait for the answer.

State, county, and city agencies sit on permit, case, 311, financial, and operational data systems that should make service performance transparent. In practice, every meaningful question takes a records request, a contract analyst, or a quarterly report. The public, the council, and the agency directors are all working from yesterday's PDF.

PAIN / 01

Service-level reporting lags reality

Permit cycle times and case closure rates are reported quarterly, when the underlying performance has already drifted. Director-level visibility arrives too late to course-correct.

PAIN / 02

Records requests consume staff

A single FOIA or public-records request can pull two analysts off mission work for two weeks. The data exists. Assembling it doesn't scale.

PAIN / 03

Cross-agency data lives in silos

The permit system, the inspection system, the GIS layer, the case management system — built across a decade, never talking to each other. Citizens experience one government; the data doesn't.

PAIN / 04

Council questions get yesterday's number

A council member asks a service-area question in committee. The agency director schedules a follow-up because the live answer requires three days of analyst work.

PAIN / 05

Grants reporting is duplicative

The same outcomes data gets reformatted for HUD, for the state, for the federal funder, for the audit. Each in a different template. Staff spend more time on reporting than on the program.

PAIN / 06

Equity questions are hard to ask honestly

Service distribution by neighborhood, by demographic — these are mission-critical questions. They're also analytically expensive, so they get asked annually rather than continuously.

Transparency at conversational speed.

Data Dialogix sits over your existing permit, case, 311, GIS, and financial systems. We're a read-only conversational layer — never a system of record. Department directors, division heads, council staff, and authorized program officers ask questions in plain language and get answers backed by the actual operational data, with the lineage and the source-system citation attached.

For public sector, we model government the way it actually delivers service: by program, by service category, by district, by funding source, by population served. Not by table name, not by case management module. When a director asks "what's our average permit cycle time in the third district this quarter, and how does it compare to last year," the platform returns it in fifteen seconds with the contributing permits one click away.

We deploy in FedRAMP- or StateRAMP-authorized environments where required, support CJIS-adjacent posture for law-enforcement-touching data, and respect Section 508 accessibility in every interface. PII columns are masked by policy; equity analyses are run on aggregated, properly-bucketed data.

What we build for public sector

Service-level intelligence

Permit cycle times, case closure rates, 311 resolution by category — live, by district.

Geographic equity

Service distribution by neighborhood, demographic group, and funding stream.

Grants & outcomes reporting

One source-of-truth dataset; multiple funder-shaped reports generated from it.

Director & council dashboards

Live, accessible dashboards for agency directors and elected officials — with WCAG-compliant design.

FOIA-ready data assembly

Records-request responses pulled from live, reproducible queries — not weeks of analyst work.

Questions directors and council staff ask every week.

Real questions from agency leadership, council offices, and program managers, answered in seconds rather than weeks.

Sample queries · Public Sector

"What's our median residential permit cycle time this quarter, by district?"
"Show me 311 pothole resolution time by neighborhood for the last 90 days."
"Which programs are over- or under-spending against their fiscal-year allocations?"
"How is HUD CDBG funding distributed by census tract, and what outcomes are we reporting?"
"Compare case closure rates in family services across our offices, this year vs last."
"Forecast next quarter's permit volume given the current backlog and trend."
"How many open code enforcement cases have aged past 180 days, by district?"
"Assemble the data underlying the FOIA request received on the 14th — permits in zone B, last 24 months."

120-day pilot in 4 departments, expanded to 12 in 6 months

The starting point. The city's transparency portal published quarterly PDFs. Council members routinely asked questions in committee that the agency director couldn't answer until the next meeting. A single neighborhood-association FOIA request consumed two analysts for three weeks. The equity office had been trying for two years to produce a service-distribution-by-census-tract analysis and had completed it once.

What we did. Connected Tyler EnerGov and Munis, the Salesforce case system, the GIS layer, and two custom case management databases. Modeled the city's department, program, district, and funding-source hierarchy. Built director-level workspaces for each pilot department, a council-staff workspace with appropriately scoped access, and a public-facing transparency dashboard with WCAG 2.2 AA compliance.

What changed. Council questions began getting answered in committee. The neighborhood-association FOIA was filled in two business days using a saved, lineage-traceable query. The equity office moved from one-time studies to continuous monitoring of service distribution. The fiscal office began catching program burn anomalies in week three instead of month two.

Six months later. The platform spans all 12 departments in scope. The quarterly transparency PDF was replaced by a live, accessible dashboard. Staff time spent on records requests dropped sharply; staff time on actual mission work rose accordingly.

Where the economics & mission impact show up.

In government, the return is measured in two currencies: staff time recovered for mission work, and constituent trust earned through transparency. Both are real.

Records-request & reporting overhead

Reproducible, lineage-traced queries collapse FOIA fulfillment and recurring grants reporting from weeks to hours. For a city handling hundreds of records requests a year, this returns full FTEs to mission work.

Equity & service responsiveness

Continuous visibility into service distribution makes equity an operating practice rather than an annual study. Underserved districts get attention in weeks instead of years.

Director & council confidence

Live, shared data means committee questions get answered in committee. The conversation moves from "I'll get back to you" to "here's the number, and here's the trend." Trust compounds.

Connects to what your agency already runs.

Native connectors for the systems state, county, and city agencies already operate. Read-only, lineage-preserving, no system-of-record disruption.

Every conversational query is reproducible with lineage. Records-request responses can be assembled from saved, defensible queries — not ad-hoc analyst work.
