New application · Political Intelligence

The records are public. The pattern is not.

See the money, votes, relationships, pressure points and decision clocks shaping a race—before the pattern becomes obvious.

Open Political Intelligence

Intelligence operating layer

From publication to reproducible decision system.

Five connected controls now carry the record from source proof through decision relationships, saved watches, reviewer challenge, and visual explanation.

01 · Evidence Core

Audit the claim, not the confidence.

38 public claims resolve to versioned source records, evidence grades, limitations, correction lineage and deterministic JSON packets.

Visual Dispatches

The decision signal, not the news pile.

Every dispatch exposes the evidence state, owner, clock, remaining gap and next proof. Images carry a visible rights and limitation record.

Homage to the Sun at Naples City Hall
DSP-002Public AssetVERIFIED AUTHORIZATION OPEN CLOSING AND DELIVERY

Council approved a $4.9 million purchase. The complete property record is still open.

City Council approved the purchase of 160–190 10th Street North for $4.9 million. The preserved record does not source-freeze closing, current title, carrying cost, final use, procurement path, capital stack or performance covenant.

Why it matters
The next defensible record must connect the authorization to closing, title, present site state, disposition criteria and a measurable public outcome.
Decision owner
Naples City Council and CRA
Decision clock
No final disposition date established in the preserved evidence cut.

DSP-003Comprehensive PlanVERIFIED DEADLINE OUTCOME OPEN

Naples 2045 creates a live policy window, not proof of adoption.

The official Naples 2045 process states that the written-comment window remains open through October 23, 2026, with later adoption activity expected separately.

Why it matters
A comment deadline is a decision clock. It does not establish the final language, hearing outcome or adopted policy.

Naples Design District — Plan, Capital and Delivery

The district does not lack a plan. It lacks one public implementation ledger connecting adopted intent, contracts, costs, property, policy, accountable owners and current decision dates.

Official April 15 minutes show Resolution 2026-15840 and petition 25-SP1 were approved 5–2 with conditions.

Why it matters

The approval changes the entitlement baseline, but it does not prove later permits, financing, construction, or delivery.

Who Is Actually Building Naples—and Who Can Deliver?
