The public monitoring feed and accountability index are free and always will be.
Donation funded
Infrastructure costs are covered by voluntary public donations.
Open initiative
Detection logic and evidence standards are transparent. No black boxes.
The Problem
Why violations go unpunished
01
structural
Institutions can't watch everything
Parliaments pass hundreds of laws per year. Public contracts are signed daily. Nobody has the bandwidth — violations hide in volume. Manual monitoring is structurally impossible at scale.
Hundreds of laws enacted per year per country
Millions of procurement records published annually
Zero automated cross-jurisdictional monitoring
02
access
Justice is expensive by design
Filing a complaint requires knowing the right law, the right court, the right form, and the right procedural deadlines. That knowledge costs money. Perpetrators have it. Citizens and civil society organizations don't.
Legal expertise required for every filing
Different procedures in every jurisdiction
Cost and complexity excludes most potential filers
03
systemic
Evidence disappears, patterns stay invisible
A single incident looks like noise. 47 incidents across 3 years is a case. No one connects those dots — not NGOs, not journalists, not prosecutors. Without an evidence chain, cases collapse.
Individual incidents are dismissed as coincidence
Cross-source pattern detection is manual and slow
No tamper-proof evidence chain for court admissibility
Architecture
5-layer detection pipeline
From raw public records to structured evidence, Civic Guard turns fragmented signals into usable accountability workflows.
01
Ingestion
Parliamentary records, court decisions, public procurement data, company registries, news feeds, and government APIs — indexed continuously across 20+ jurisdictions. Never stops.
02
NLP & Classification
Named entity recognition maps persons, organizations, amounts, and dates into a live knowledge graph. Legal text classification maps behavior to specific applicable laws, multilingual.
03
Anomaly Detection
Graph neural network detects conflict-of-interest structures and procurement fraud invisible to humans. Time-series analysis flags suspicious legislative timing and financial tunneling.
04
Legal Reasoning
RAG over legal databases maps patterns to laws and precedents. Severity scoring trained on historical outcomes. Document generation per jurisdiction — right court, right form, right deadline.
05
Response Engine
6-tier escalation from documentation to international bodies. Every filing requires human attorney approval before submission. Cryptographic hash chain ensures court admissibility.
Detection
Six violation categories
Purpose-built signal models and legal mappings for each category across supported jurisdictions.
01
Corruption & Bribery
Unusual payment patterns, conflicts of interest in public procurement, post-award price changes, single-source awards without justification.
02
Electoral Manipulation
Irregular campaign finance, gerrymandering, voter suppression coordination, deepfake propaganda — detected via multimodal and financial analysis.
03
Suppression of Freedoms
Journalist surveillance, media blocking, coordinated harassment campaigns, assembly restrictions — tracked via NLP and temporal patterns.
Coordinated state-backed narratives, manipulation of official statistics, historical revisionism — detected via fact-check ML and source attribution.
06
Economic Sabotage
Tunneling of state assets, non-transparent privatization, cartel coordination, regulatory capture — via financial anomaly and ownership graph analysis.
