Freshcod3s // Civic intelligence desk
Four instruments
Public data should not require private expertise.
On the gap
Public records aren’t hidden. They’re delayed, fragmented, PDF-bound, badly indexed, and written for people who already know where to look. That gap is the business model. Freshcod3s closes the readability gap — not by inventing data, not by laundering it through vague scores, but by showing the source record and making the path through it obvious.
The desk
Washington · Federal lobbying
Federal lobbying disclosures, flattened: who paid whom, how much, on what issue, and where the source document lives. Read by client, firm, issue area, congressional context, executive-branch relevance.
OpenWashington · STOCK Act disclosure
The STOCK Act gives members 45 days to disclose covered trades. CTA turns that record into a live feed with disclosure-lag flags, member watchlists, committee-overlap context, and push alerts.
OpenBaltimore · CMS Open Payments
A neutral mirror of CMS Open Payments — the payments and transfers of value that drug and device companies report to the federal government. Search by practitioner name; browse by program year, nature of payment, medical specialty, reporting company, or license state. General Payments only, program years 2018–2024: Research and Ownership/Investment are separate CMS datasets and are never combined with those figures. No scores, no rankings, no interpretation.
OpenThe Moon · The human record
Every landing, every crash, the rovers where they came to rest — the human footprint on the Moon, on a globe you can fly. Real ephemeris, named terrain, no login, no pitch.
OpenThe overlap
Quiver, Capitol Trades, and Unusual Whales show you the trades. Lobbying trackers show you the money. Freshcod3s puts them in one view: pick a member, see the committees they sit on next to their own disclosed trades — and the lag between them.

The discipline
What is the source?
The filing, the database, the agency. Linked, not summarized.
When was it filed?
The date that appears on the record, and the lag past the statutory window.
What changed?
The diff against the prior record — not a vibe, an edit.
What is still unknown?
The questions the record can’t answer, named out loud.
No mystery data. No fake certainty. No “AI says.” Public records made readable.
“The project is small. The tools are not.”
Solo-built. Self-funded. No foundation leash. No investor mandate. No institutional softening. Just the paper trail.
One person builds this — a musician first, which is why the tools care about timing: when a trade happened, when it was disclosed, and how long the silence lasted.
