For cities, counties, special districts and state boards

See how one public record connects your whole government.

Your permits, licences and complaints stop living in five systems that have never heard of each other.

No account, no form, no sales call first — that link opens a real compliance scorecard computed from live records.
One person, one property, one business is one record here — typed once, seen by every programme that needs it. A standing you set on a licence this morning is what the resident verifies on the public lookup this afternoon. Nothing is re-keyed between “modules”, because there are no modules to re-key between.
What you can do with it

Four doors. Each one a public preview you can read without signing in.

The working consoles sit behind each one for the staff who run them.

Short-term rentals · public preview

Register and police your short-term rentals0 permits · 0 complaints live

Put every Airbnb and VRBO property on one register with its owner, its permit standing and its transient-occupancy remittances — then log the neighbour complaints against the property, so the unregistered rental collecting complaints becomes an enforcement lead instead of a rumour.

Licensing · public preview

Issue, renew and suspend a licence — and show your work0 licences live

A licence can be Valid and On Probation on the same Tuesday. Give a licensee several standings at once, each with its own dated period, and never overwrite the history. The citizen lookup and the licensee's own portal show the change the same second you make it.

Project management · public preview

Run the programme as a real project, not a spreadsheet

Milestones, risks, decisions, requirements and the people who own them — on the same records as the permits and licences underneath, so a slipping milestone and a delinquent licence are visibly the same programme.

Interoperability · public preview

Share a record with another agency without re-keying it

Grant another sovereign a scoped, revocable channel into a record you own. One identity, two agencies, no export file, no midnight batch, no second version of the truth to reconcile.

Live — the results pack is published

The Challenge Demo — take our results to your own AI

We publish one genuinely awkward case out of the working records — a short-term rental whose permit stands in two states at the same time, with a complaint trail, an open enforcement step and a tax question — carried end to end. Then we hand you the prompt and invite you to make your own AI reproduce it.
What is honest about this box: the static pack is live, generated from live records the moment you open it, with an as-of stamp and a plain statement that the city in it is fictional demonstration data. The interactive version — a widget on this page that calls a model for you — is not built, and it stays on the plan until it can arrive with a rate limit, a per-day cap and its own budget line. We will not run an open AI spend endpoint for anonymous visitors.

Who built this, and what is actually running
Alex Glaros
Alex Glaros
Founder & architect — he answers the mail himself
Alex designed and built every system on this site. He invented esUDM, the record layer underneath them (patent pending), and published the Enterprise Focused Development methodology in the peer-reviewed Journal of Enterprise Architecture. His son Andrew Glaros (MS Civil Engineering, UC Berkeley) is his partner in the firm.
● Live right now — real records, counted this second
Short-term rental permits on the register: 0
Neighbour complaints logged against properties: 0

Generated 2026-09-14 02:42 UTC from the working records themselves — not a screenshot, not a monthly report. Reload and the numbers move when the work moves.
● Honestly under construction
The Challenge Demo — on the plan, not built.
Federal-level systems (FDA / DEA / federal grants) — designed, not built.
Building permits and inspections — next in line.
CRM for agencies — early, behind sign-in.
This whole site is an early-stage product from a two-person firm, and it says so on purpose.
How we sell it
How we sell it. Engagement Squared is offered to government as a commercial item — commercial computer software under FAR Part 12, on our standard commercial license terms. We do not sell it as custom development, and we do not grant Government Purpose or Unlimited Rights in the software, its schema or its technical data. Development was funded at private expense.
And, second: where AI fits
Everything above is ordinary, traditional software doing ordinary government work: registers, permits, standings, dates, queues, public lookups. None of it needs AI, and none of it stops working when the AI is switched off. Where AI is offered it is optional, it is bring-your-own-key, and it never writes to a record without a person approving the change. For the record: no AI invented this data model — Alex Glaros did, at a drafting table, over years.
