Public money should be legible to the people who fund it.

We turn scattered, official public-finance data into something ordinary citizens can actually read. Our platform for this is Civitas.

Open Civitas See Civitas

Public spending data is public in name, but rarely in practice. It is scattered across national and regional portals, published in incompatible formats, and buried inside procurement PDFs that almost nobody reads. Transparency on paper is not transparency in fact.

We close that gap. The data already belongs to the public; our job is to make it usable, comparable, and free to read.

What we build

Civitas · Free public tool

Civitas

Public money should be public. Not just on paper.

Civitas aggregates official public-finance data from across European jurisdictions and turns it into a single readable interface. Every budget line, every procurement contract, every subsidy, in one place, searchable and free to read with no login.

Who it's for

Citizens

Anyone who wants to understand where local, regional, and national money goes, and where it does not.

Journalists

Following the money on a specific story without spending three days inside procurement PDFs.

Researchers & NGOs

Comparing spending patterns across jurisdictions and building cases on subsidy allocation or lobbying influence at scale.

Public officials

Benchmarking their own jurisdiction against peers on spending, efficiency, and transparency.

Why Triops

Civic transparency is only credible when it is independent and durable. Civitas runs on EU infrastructure with data residency in the EU by default, draws only from official public sources, and is free to read. Credibility here comes from honesty, not breadth.
