No surveys. No self-reporting. No pay-to-play. PublicWeave turns the audited financial reports every agency already files into peer-benchmarked intelligence — in four steps.
Every night we pull fresh filings from state sources: IL Comptroller, CA State Controller, IN Gateway, OH Auditor, CO OSA, ISBE Report Card, US Census. Where agencies publish audits on their own sites, we scrape those too. 148 Illinois park audit PDFs, 975+ municipal budget book chunks — all indexed.
Claude Haiku reads every PDF and extracts the numbers — revenue lines, expenditure categories, debt schedules, capital projects. Complex Illinois documents get upgraded to Claude Sonnet. When we can't read a scanned PDF, Sonnet vision does it. Each number carries a confidence score and a source-page citation.
Six ingredients roll up into a letter grade: Revenue Health, Debt Position, Capital Investment, Structural Balance, Peer Percentile, Trend. School districts use a separate 5-dimension model. Weights are calibrated against industry references — Moody's bond-rating criteria, GFOA best practice, NRPA benchmarks, ISBE profiles.
Your agency gets compared against peers — same type, same state, similar size. The community service map links agencies sharing residents (your park district, the schools your kids attend, the library down the street). WeaverAI can explain any grade, cite the specific filings it read, and answer questions like "how does our DSC compare to districts our size?"
Every figure traces to an official public filing — state comptroller annual financial reports, auditor filings, Census population data, and in Illinois the state Report Card. We never use survey responses as primary data.
Yes. The public report card is free. No login required to search or view. Email gives you WeaverAI chat credits and the ability to upload your own audited data to improve your grade.
Each grade is a weighted roll-up of six ingredients: Revenue Health, Debt Position, Capital Investment, Structural Balance, Peer Percentile, and Trend. School districts use a 5-dimension model. See the methodology page for the full ingredient list.
Nightly sync from all state sources. New fiscal-year filings are ingested as states publish them — most states release annual audits 6-12 months after fiscal year close.
Absolutely. Every report card has an "Upload your data" button. Share your audited budget book, CAFR, or community survey, and we'll re-grade with your numbers. Every correction strengthens the peer benchmark for everyone.
We don't train AI on your data and don't share it with third parties. Uploaded audits are used only to improve your agency's grade and enhance anonymized peer benchmarks. Your data stays private.
