Messy Government Dataset Cleaning and Analysis SaaS

WhatA platform that automatically detects and fixes broken links, missing fields, duplicate records, and inconsistent dates in government-published CSV and structured datasets, then serves a clean API.

SignalA technically-minded user dug into the official UAP CSV and found broken links, missing dates, duplicate entries, and inconsistencies between the CSV and the web interface — illustrating a chronic problem with government open data quality that blocks real analysis.
