Eight federal APIs by zip code. Democratic participation scoring. Civic domain analysis with tension mapping. Bilingual at every layer. The civic operating system runs at $7/year.
This is the platform's defining capability. Every civic sector is structurally federated: tribes that won't cede sovereignty, mutual aid groups that resist hierarchy, library systems with separate governance, 75,000 PTOs that share nothing. No competing platform offers federation as a first-class primitive. Unite Us, Watermark, LegalServer, Geographic Solutions — they're all centralized. This architecture matches how the civic sector actually works.
These assemble for participatory budgeting (7,000+ cities worldwide have voting tools — none track whether funded projects actually get built), anti-corruption monitoring (Transparency International's 100+ chapters need chain tracing and federation in hostile environments), municipal transparency (19,500+ US municipalities, most lacking dedicated civic tech), election integrity (cross-jurisdiction voter issue detection without central database), and neighborhood councils (accountability tracking + bilingual + democratic scoring).
comm-unity-os.org is the production civic platform — 50+ pages, 8 federal APIs, dispute letters in 5 states, community health scoring, federation protocol, bilingual throughout. Running at $7/year. The components that power it are the same components available for your civic deployment.
Decidim (participatory democracy), CONSUL (250+ cities), Pol.is (AI consensus), Loomio (group decisions), and OpenStates (legislative tracking) — curated from the global civic tech ecosystem to fill domain-specific gaps that complement NinoTech's 74 components without replacing them.
