01. The ChallengeFragmented Reporting Leaves Municipal Data Inconsistent and Undigitized
Assessing government finances requires gathering data from thousands of sources including ACFRs, budgets, Census datasets, and local reports. These documents vary in structure and terminology, extraction is painfully manual, and sector-wide standardization remains a distant prospect.
A Data Landscape in Need of Structure
Data is scattered across ACFRs, and varied structure and terminology make comparisons between municipalities slow and error-prone.
Analysts spend hours each week extracting, standardizing, and reconciling data. Insights are delayed, and capacity is wasted on work that should be automated.
Sector standardization remains largely voluntary, slow, and prospective with little application to historical data.
MuniSpot fills the gap today.

Data from 65,000+ annual comprehensive financial reports covering 14,000+ municipalities is delivered through an intuitive web dashboard or directly into your workflow via API.
