"Public officials earnestly want to make great decisions using data, but it's really difficult to use public sector data," said Polco CEO Nick Mastronardi. "It's now imminently possible to unleash a public sector renaissance by putting world-class AI in the hands of nearly one million state and local government officials who haven't previously had ready access to these datasets and analytics."
Polco's enormous proprietary data warehouse is largely fed by Government Performance Action & Learning (GPAL), a public data initiative and partnership between National Research Center from Polco, High Road Strategy Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Hoover Institution at Stanford University, Arizona State University, ICMA, and Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
