Participatory budgeting

Intake, screening and open review of civic initiatives with transparent statuses.

In productionAI-ready

Value proposition

Residents can see what happened to their initiative from submission to decision. Organisers get a manageable flow without manual de-duplication.

Challenge

Initiatives arrive in free form, duplicate each other, get lost during screening and applicants do not understand rejections.

The AI modules are built and connect to the solutions. They are not yet running in production at client sites — they are available for a pilot or a deployment project.

Pluggable agents

  • Workflow AI Agent

    AI-ready

    Monitors process flow: deadlines, owners, deviations and reminder preparation.

    • Deadline control
    • Deviation detection
    • Reminder generation
    • Escalation

    Process status changes happen only through permitted, logged operations.

  • Analytics AI Agent

    AI module available

    Prepares analytical commentary on metrics, detects anomalies and drafts reports.

    • Data mart queries
    • Anomaly detection
    • Scenario modelling
    • Report draft

    Every conclusion references its data source. Publishing a report requires confirmation.

How it works

A typical scenario: from event to confirmed result.

  1. 11A resident submits an initiative through the portal.
  2. 22The agent classifies it, finds similar ones and checks formal requirements.
  3. 33The initiative is published and residents support it with votes.
  4. 44The committee reviews the initiative and makes a decision.
  5. 55The status and its justification are published openly.

Security

  • Protection of applicants' personal data
  • Vote manipulation protection
  • Audit logging of committee decisions
  • Publication of approved data only

The human role

AI structures the initiative flow and prepares a briefing. The decision is made by the committee.

In government, financial and security-related processes the final decision is confirmed by an authorised employee. AI analyses the data and prepares a recommendation.
