Verify Local Data Using Plain, Everyday Language
You don't need to be a programmer or a spreadsheet expert to participate in civic transparency. Think of Marigold as a smart magnifying glass that runs right on your own computer desk.
No Programming Degree Required
Have you ever tried opening a public civic file on your computer, only to have Excel freeze up or show confusing error codes? We built Marigold Insights specifically to solve that frustration.
Our software allows you to explore public records by typing conversational questions—just like asking a librarian for assistance. You can pick from standardized check templates designed by experienced researchers, run them with a single click, and view clear, organized results. Everything is formatted in readable fonts with generous spacing designed for comfort and ease of use.
100% Private, Safe & Lawful Exploration
When you volunteer to help audit public lists, data privacy is paramount. You should never upload citizen information to random internet websites or unverified cloud storage boxes.
With Marigold, **your files stay right on your own computer machine**. Our software operates entirely inside your web browser. When you run an analysis, no data is ever transmitted across the internet. This provides a non-partisan, legitimate, and fully lawful way for dedicated citizens to assist in keeping community records accurate and up-to-date.
⚙️ Are You a Data Scientist, Statistician, or Software Engineer?
While our interface is tailored for approachable, non-technical community interaction, the underlying engine is powered by rigorous statistical algorithms (including high-density Poisson distribution checks and NCOA address standardization rules). We believe in complete transparency and open-source validation.
