BriefsPublic reporting website builder

Structured transparency publishing

Briefs

Build public reporting websites from governed templates, trusted data, and a clean draft-to-publish workflow.

Briefs gives municipal teams one place to assemble pages, manage media, connect datasets, preview changes, and publish resident-facing reports with confidence.

Enter Briefs

From blank workspace to published public site.

The app is built around the way reporting actually ships: controlled structure first, editorial freedom where it matters, and a visible publishing path.

  1. 01

    Start with structure

    Create entity websites from governed templates, reusable sections, and controlled navigation.

  2. 02

    Build the story

    Compose pages with text, media, charts, tables, and live data widgets in one editorial workspace.

  3. 03

    Preview before public

    Review drafts exactly as residents will see them, then publish with a clean approval trail.

Everything a reporting team needs to move fast without losing governance.

Template-first websites

Launch consistent public sites for every entity without rebuilding the same page system twice.

Dataset-powered sections

Turn uploaded spreadsheets and platform data into charts, tables, and reusable public widgets.

Draft, preview, publish

Keep work-in-progress separate from the public site until the page is ready to go live.

Access and audit control

Use platform roles, entity scoping, and activity history to keep publishing accountable.

One front door

Briefs opens into the authenticated workspace.

The landing page explains the product. The entry button takes authorized users into the main Briefs app, where entity access and publishing controls take over.
