Scope a software project

Support a public program.

Founding support can fund a year of work on a public program, from the Parks Atlas to the next research project. Monthly support helps keep the tools running and the sources available.

Support is not tax-deductible.

The work stays independent.

Anyone can hire us. We take one side per matter, list contracts publicly, and keep funding separate from findings. Paid work never buys a conclusion.
