Pull
Every month we collect fresh data from the City of Calgary, the Calgary Police Service, Calgary Transit, and the public schools directory. Crime, assessments, schools, parks, services, transit, fire — every feed has a single point of origin we can name.
Reconcile
Every record is tagged to an official Calgary community. Edge cases and residual sub-areas are flagged. Rows that disappeared upstream are archived with a reason — never silently dropped — so historical context survives across releases.
Visualize
Charts use the same scales across communities so comparisons are honest, not flattering. No red, no green. Direction of change is carried by a glyph and weight, never by colour swap. Every figure shows its source and its date.
Narrate
An AI summary describes what the data shows using cautious verbs — appears to, tends to, observed. Every insight is grounded in the same numbers on the page, dated, and labelled. The model speaks like an analyst, not a salesperson.
Eight feeds. One destination.

What this site doesn't do, and shouldn't.
- Not real-estate advice. Assessed values are not sale prices. The site won't replace a realtor or a comparative market analysis.
- Not legal or financial advice. If a number affects a decision, verify it at the source.
- Not real-time. At worst, one quarter behind for crime, one month behind for everything else.
- Not exhaustive. Demographics and recent news are on the roadmap but not yet ingested. Side-by-side community comparison is coming soon.
- Not infallible. AI summaries are grounded in the data shown on the page, but the wording is the model's. Read it as a draft, not a verdict.
Trust is built one footnote at a time.
