Meetings, Records & Community Intelligence
Understand what happened, what changed, what people are concerned about, and what needs follow-through.
The adoption path
How an organization gets from first training to lasting capacity.
-
Learn
Build shared capability through practical AI training, responsible-use standards, source discipline, and human-review habits.
-
Apply
Use the Civic Intelligence Practice on real public or approved materials to create useful, review-ready work.
-
Operationalize
Turn proven workflows into recurring organizational capacity with clear ownership, reusable processes, and appropriate technology.
Within the Apply stage, every guided workflow follows the same five moves.
The principle
Structure, summarize, draft, check. But do not decide.
AI can structure records, summarize source material, compare documents, draft content, and flag what needs attention. It does not determine what is true, what matters most, what should happen next, or what should be communicated publicly.
The Civic Intelligence Practice keeps an accountable person in charge of every workflow, from defining the source and reviewing the draft to interpreting context and approving the result.
- 01
Identify the workflow
Define the recurring responsibility, intended output, audience, owner, and reviewer.
- 02
Define the source
Specify the public or approved materials the workflow may use.
- 03
Draft with AI
Use AI to structure, summarize, compare, or draft from the approved source material.
- 04
Verify the work
Check names, dates, votes, numbers, sources, omissions, uncertainties, and context before use.
- 05
Make it reusable
Save the approved process, prompts, templates, review rules, and handoff so the work does not start from scratch next time.
Where it runs
Built around the work you already do.
The practice is not taught in the abstract. Training applies the same responsible method to recurring civic workflows using public, approved, or practice materials, so participants learn by producing the kinds of work their organization actually needs.
Each workflow area includes individual learning options and an Integrated Bootcamp. See Pricing for current formats and availability.
Non-negotiables
The lines that never move.
AI prepares the work. Accountable humans verify, approve, decide, and own it.
The workflow can adapt to the organization and the task. These boundaries do not.
A person owns every result
Accountability is assigned before work begins, not traced back after something is already public.
AI never makes the call
Endorsements, spending, compliance, and political positions stay with the people responsible for them, never the model.
AI never ranks or judges people
It never scores candidates, ranks volunteers, or profiles members. Fit, eligibility, and fairness stay human judgments.
The official record stays yours
Your minutes, records, and filings live in your own systems. AI drafts them; it never becomes the system of record.
Sensitive data stays protected
Voter, donor, and member information is handled with privacy-aware, approved tools, never pasted into AI casually.
Your committee’s voice stays its own
AI adapts to how your committee already writes and speaks. It never flattens your local voice into generic copy.
Public work is source-grounded
Every fact, date, and figure traces back to material your committee approved, never to something the model made up.
Nothing is auto-sent
Every output is review-ready; a person publishes, emails, or files it, never the machine.
Context and authority stay separate
Party, campaign, governmental, and organizational work require their own sources, permissions, roles, and approval chains.
