Verifiable truth over narrative.

FILL IN: what is broken about the current state of political accountability? Narratives drown out records. Citizens have no single place to see what their representatives actually did and weigh in on it with verified weight.

FILL IN: what OSPO does, in two sentences. Every decision an elected official makes is sourced to primary government records. Every citizen gets exactly one verified vote per decision — approve or disapprove — rolled into a single Aggregate Approval Score that nobody can manipulate.

1. We ingest decisions from primary sources — roll-call votes, enrolled bills, executive actions.

2. Verified citizens (identity + address confirmed) cast one vote per decision: approve or disapprove.

3. Each official's Aggregate Approval Score updates in real time, with every decision traceable to the original record.

FILL IN: what is built. Working MVP covering 13 U.S. senators and 10 landmark Senate votes. Supabase-backed auth + voting, deployed on Netlify. Live at opensourcepublicoffice.com.

FILL IN: TAM. 258M eligible U.S. voters. 535 sitting members of Congress + 50 governors + thousands of state-level officials. Existing tools (GovTrack, Ballotpedia) report; none allow weighted citizen voice on individual decisions.

FILL IN: funding amount and use of funds. Seeking $X to cover: identity-verification vendor, data-pipeline engineer, first full-time legal/policy hire, 18-month runway to 50k verified citizens and all 535 Congressional seats.
