| Platform Identity & Purpose | |
| Are you a startup or a nonprofit? | Neither. 200 Brady Street is a civic infrastructure platform, milestone aligned, governance bound, and built to make enforcement systems visible. |
| Why is this platform needed now? | Because automated enforcement now generates $20B-$50B in fines annually, and no one can say exactly where the money goes, who issues what, or why. That $30 billion range isn’t a margin of error, it’s a civic blind spot. No ledger. No audit trail. No structural visibility. 200 Brady Street exists to expose and replace that absence. |
| Funding Logic & Milestone Scope | |
| What does this current raise fund? | The raise is structured in two tiers: • $470K USD (Milestone 1 only): Launches ticket reporting, contributor protections, trust tiering, and public dashboards in Sudbury, Toronto, and NYC. • $550K USD (Full target): Includes all of Milestone 1 plus early onboarding of Milestone 2 infrastructure, FOI metadata logic and civic indexing groundwork. |
| Can funders influence roadmap or features? | No. Milestones are pre-scoped and governance locked. Capital activates structure, it doesn’t steer it. |
| Who decides when milestones are complete? | Internal milestone governance reviews, based on structural readiness and contributor safety. Not investor urgency. Not municipal politics. |
| Licensing, Exclusions & Guardrails | |
| Can cities or insurers license this platform? | No. Enforcement bodies, insurers, and surveillance vendors are explicitly excluded from backend licensing and dataset access. Why? Because this platform is designed to protect the public, not to be quietly rerouted into compliance scoring, targeting, or enforcement analytics. |
| Can cities use the platform at all? | Yes, under public terms. Cities can view public dashboards like anyone else. And after Milestone 4, they may optionally license the bylaw publishing frontend, which simply mirrors already public law. No privileged access. No enforcement tie ins. |
| Can governments or vendors access the API? | No. APIs and bulk datasets are limited to public interest licensees, such as transparency orgs, clinics, and researchers. Enforcement and commercial partners are excluded by license design. |
| Market Position & Revenue Model | |
| Is this a $7B market opportunity? | No, that figure refers to camera and equipment sales. The real enforcement economy is in ticket revenue, which reaches $20B-$50B annually. That’s the system this platform is built to audit, not participate in. |
| How does the platform generate revenue without extracting from users? | Through public interest aligned channels only: • Civic+ subscriptions for researchers • Legal recovery tooling for clinics • FOI hosting & licensing for transparency orgs • No ads. No surveillance partners. No monetization of identity. |
| What makes this defensible? | Governance first architecture: • No equity override • No enforcement clients • Milestone logic is fixed • Licensing is tiered, public interest bound, and reciprocity based |
| Deployment & Collaboration | |
| When will Milestone 1 launch? | Once aligned capital is secured. Everything is structurally mapped, deployment begins in Sudbury, Toronto, and NYC, with dashboards and contributor protections live on day one. |
| Is this platform open-source? | Some FOI and legal scaffolding tools may be. Core infrastructure follows public interest licensing, designed to prevent lock up and extractive resale. |
| Can we partner as a civic org or clinic? | Yes. The platform is designed for legal clinics, transparency organizations, public interest researchers, and justice aligned tech allies. Contact us at invest@200bradystreet.com. |
