We build the rules that should exist for AI.
And we take them directly to the people who write the laws.
The problem: AI is being deployed without oversight
When a company wants to build a new factory, it has to complete an environmental impact review. When a technology company deploys a new AI system that affects millions of people, there is no equivalent process. No review. No public input. No assessment of who might be harmed. Neurodivergent people, elderly users, and disabled individuals are often the most affected and the least consulted.
Our solution: the Civic AI Accountability Standard (CAAS)
CAAS adapts the logic of environmental impact review to AI deployment. It gives legislators, regulators, and advocacy organizations a structured way to evaluate AI systems before they launch — and to hold companies accountable after the fact.
Algorithmic Civic Impact Review. A pre-deployment checklist evaluating systems across seven areas, including effects on vulnerable populations.
Civic Technology Integrity Review. A post-deployment tool for congressional staff, regulators, and attorneys to evaluate whether a system does what was promised.
We also developed an eight-question diagnostic measuring whether a platform builds community trust or erodes it. The entire framework is public domain — anyone can use, adapt, or cite it without restriction.

We did not stop at a framework. We wrote a model law any state or federal legislator can introduce. It would require civic impact review before deploying large-scale AI systems, mandate assessment of effects on vulnerable populations, and create enforcement mechanisms for post-deployment audits. The full text is free for any legislative office to use or adapt.
Who we have contacted
This work is not sitting on a shelf. The complete CAAS research packet has been formally delivered to the offices of Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14). Our founder has an existing relationship with Senator Baldwin's office, which has previously acted on his behalf in a congressional inquiry with the Social Security Administration.
Fighting back on behalf of consumers
When companies harm neurodivergent consumers, we take direct action: formal complaints, demand letters, and detailed research documenting unfair billing practices, cancellation barriers, misleading marketing, data privacy violations, and inadequate diagnostic services. Each case serves the individual affected and contributes to the public record.
