A 90-second tour · Data Love AI
Meet Spark.
Spark turns official public data into clear, cited answers about any community
in the country. It's free to explore, and you don't need an account to look around. Here's what
you'll see in the next minute:
- 1Seven community dashboards, mapped to your state or county.
- 2Dorothy, your AI analyst, who cites every number and says so when the data isn't there.
- 3Your state snapshot, and the story a single average hides.
- 4Policy Radar, for new federal rules in plain language.
- 5Spark+, where you bring your own spreadsheet.
Step 1 · The public backbone
Seven community dashboards, already loaded.
Pick any state or county and everything re-renders — no setup, no account. Every
figure links back to its official source, so a funder can check it.
7 areas
hunger, housing, veterans, economic stability, access to care, grant funding, and veteran-owned (SDVOSB) vendors
9 states · 699 counties
live monthly SNAP caseloads, county by county, refreshed weekly straight from the state agencies
⧉ State agencies · 2026County map
every metric drawn onto your county, next to the state and national picture

Step 2 · Your AI analyst
Ask Dorothy anything about your community.
She answers in plain language and cites every number. Free accounts get 10
questions a day.
How many veterans in El Paso County, Colorado are living below the poverty line?
DDorothy is looking that up...
DAbout
4,900 veterans in El Paso County were below the poverty
line in the latest estimate — roughly
1 in 12 of the county's veterans [1].
[1] U.S. Census Bureau · American Community Survey, 5-year · Table S2101
And here's the part that builds trust: when a number
isn't in a source she can cite, Dorothy says so instead of guessing. Those "I can't answer that yet"
turns are free and never count against your daily questions.
Step 3 · Built for your state
A snapshot of your state, and the story averages hide.
The state page gives you a cited overview — who lives there, a community profile,
even a civic signal — and then surfaces the counties a single statewide number would bury.
Share of households on SNAP, by county
The statewide average is 10% — which describes none of these counties. That's the "flaw of averages," and it's the view funders rarely get.

Step 4 · Stay ahead of the rules
Every new federal rule, in plain language.
Policy Radar watches new federal rules and notices across all seven areas and
translates them out of legalese. Free to browse. Signed-in users can switch on a weekly email digest
that sends Mondays.

Step 5 · Bring your own data
Spark+ blends your spreadsheet with the public record.
Upload a CSV or Excel file (up to 50MB). Before a single row enters, Dorothy runs an
intake check that refuses personal information at the door and hands you a readable report card.

was ever stored.
