WhatAn evidence-based analytics platform that models second-order economic and social impacts of AI deployment on specific industries, regions, and demographics — built for policymakers and civic organizations.
SignalCommenters are divided on whether AI benefits humanity broadly or concentrates wealth further — this reflects a real policy vacuum where decision-makers lack concrete, localized data on who actually gains and loses from AI adoption.
Why NowGovernments worldwide are actively drafting AI regulation (EU AI Act enforcement beginning, US executive orders) but lack rigorous tools to model the distributional effects of AI on employment, housing, and inequality.
MarketGovernment agencies, think tanks, labor unions, and large enterprises needing AI impact assessments for compliance and planning; TAM $2B+ in govtech/regtech. Current offerings are generic consulting reports, not real-time analytical tools.
MoatProprietary economic modeling datasets and government relationships create high switching costs once embedded in policy workflows.
