The index of local power
Nabodex automatically researches and maps the people who shape your community — so you don't have to.
What is Nabodex
Most civic transparency tools focus on federal politicians. Nabodex targets the blind spot: local figures — mayors, council members, school superintendents, hospital CEOs, judges, police chiefs, nonprofit directors, and developers — who shape daily life but fly under the radar.
From nabob (a person of power) and dex (index), Nabodex is the first AI-powered local accountability engine: an automated system that continuously researches, verifies, and connects the people holding power in a community.
How it works
Collect
AI agents gather public information — news articles, organizational pages, public records — building a comprehensive source library for each figure.
Extract
Each source is processed individually, extracting atomic facts, events, connections, and biographical details — every claim linked to its source for traceability.
Verify
Cross-referencing and grounding against live search results confirms dates and facts. Unverified claims are flagged, not hidden — transparency over false confidence.
Connect
The system maps relationships between figures — political alliances, appointments, board memberships, organizational ties — revealing the network of local power.
Why it matters
For journalists
A head start on any local story. Timelines, connections, and sourced facts that would take hours to assemble by hand.
For civic engagement
Finally see who runs your community. Lower the barrier to informed participation in local government.
For accountability
Track stakeholders across time. Surface patterns that scattered records and search engines can't replicate.
What makes it different
Nobody else builds living timelines for local figures. Ballotpedia and OpenSecrets cover only elected officials at scale. LinkedIn is self-reported. Local news doesn't connect the dots.
Nabodex covers all categories of local power — elected officials, administrators, business leaders, nonprofit heads, law enforcement, judiciary, educators, healthcare executives — draws on independent sources, and enables analysis no existing tool offers.
