the simplicity of transparency

clearly documented how we do things. clearly document the data in our systems and how it is used. there is interaction between these two.

i understand there will be a social response, perhaps like most adjustments, the acceptance of a new reality takes time. the breaking down of thought patterns, expectations, individual and group behavior. but, getting transparent means dropping pre-tense and bringing science to the democratic process. problems are complex, understandable. not everything can be measured. sure. but, we can do a hell of a lot better job of telling stories with data, emphasizing data sourcing, data-collection methodologies and research and operating assumptions. build upon it our ask is that you consider and implement a standar contact information for all public officials in your jurisdiction. We also provide assistance in this area, as MoreQuality. Participate and Connect with your Citizens using Democracy Map.
