Public betaAll systems operational
A live look at every ALKARTIS intelligence app — what's shipped, what's in testing, and what we're building next.
ALKARTIS is in public beta: the apps marked live are usable today, but the platform is still evolving and you may hit rough edges. That's expected — and flagging them is the fastest way they get fixed.

Exploring the lab
Ideas we're researching and building toward, shown early with where each one stands. These are concepts — not commitments, timelines, or promises.
SafetySignal
How safe is this block, really — and which way is it trending?
- Gun-violence intensity from PPD shooting victims — fatal and nonfatal — measured against the citywide block average, not a scary raw count.
- Whether shootings here fall indoors or on the street, and how fatal outcomes compare to the citywide rate.
- Violent vs. property crime composition, with the direction of travel over the last 12 months.
- A watch that stays quiet until safety meaningfully shifts.
StreetSafe
Is this corner actually dangerous — and for whom?
- Reported crashes near an intersection over five years, separated by who was hurt — drivers, pedestrians, cyclists.
- Whether the street sits on the City's High Injury Network — the ~12% of streets carrying ~50% of traffic deaths.
- The severity and conditions behind the count — dark, wet, unsignalized — not just a total.
- A watch for a new serious-injury or fatal crash on a street you follow. (Crash timing is yearly by design.)
CleanScore
Did this restaurant pass its last health inspection?
- A plain pass/fail verdict with critical vs. non-critical violations — not a wall of codes.
- This establishment's inspection history against nearby restaurants.
- How a block or corridor compares on food safety overall.
- A watch for a new inspection with critical violations at a place you follow.
MoneyTrail
Who funds the politicians deciding your neighborhood?
- A candidate's fundraising broken down by donor industry and geography, against peer candidates.
- In-district vs. out-of-district money at a glance.
- Donor-to-vendor overlap, connecting campaign giving to City contracts.
- A watch for large contributions and new filings by an official you follow.
PermitPulse
Where the block is being rebuilt — before the scaffolding goes up.
- New construction, alteration, and demolition permits on a block, read against its own 12-month baseline.
- The mix behind the count — ground-up builds vs. renovations vs. teardowns — so a surge is legible, not just large.
- Which contractors and owners are most active nearby, and how fast permits are actually being pulled.
- A watch that fires when permit activity on a block you follow meaningfully accelerates.
EvictionWatch
Is eviction pressure building on this block — before the displacement shows?
- Landlord–tenant eviction filings near an address, measured against the block's own history and the citywide rate.
- Repeat-filer landlords and the parcels driving most of the activity.
- Filing pressure layered next to sale-price and permit trends — the early displacement tell.
- A watch that stays quiet until filing activity on a block you follow shifts.
ServiceSignal
What is this block actually complaining about — and is the City fixing it?
- 311 service requests near an address grouped by what they're about — trash, graffiti, abandoned autos, streetlights.
- Open vs. closed rate and median time-to-close, so "did anything happen?" is answered.
- This block's complaint mix and responsiveness against a neighborhood baseline.
- A watch for a spike in a complaint type — or a backlog of unresolved requests — on a block you follow.
