Local government — built for teams who report in public

Stop rebuilding the report.
Start moving the plan.

Every quarter your team rebuilds the same packet from the same spreadsheets. ClearPoint holds the plan, the measures, and the council report in one place — so reporting is a click, not a project.

Owners update in place
Each measure has a named owner and a due date. They enter their own number, once.

Status, trend, and commentary roll up the moment an owner saves.

Spreadsheet chaos on the left, a live scorecard on the right. That is the whole pitch.

Council briefing · FY26 Q1

Safe, connected, and financially steady

Eleven of fourteen objectives are on track. Permit turnaround improved for the fourth straight quarter. Two transit measures are at risk and have owner commentary attached.

What used to happen here

Someone screenshotted six dashboards, pasted them into slides, and retyped the commentary. Two of the numbers were already stale by the meeting.

What happens now

The briefing regenerates from the live scorecard. Commentary belongs to the owner. Export is the last step, not the whole job.

Every measure.
