Economy Flow
helps people across organizations
reach the objectives
they share for a place.

Place

Anywhere people share objectives.

Scroll to see the three signals

Economy Flow solves for three signals in a place.

What the problem is

Demand signals

The data that says what’s wrong. Most of it is historic.

  • Public dataCensus · ACS · local reports
  • Regional dataregional planning agencies · neighborhood plans · market studies
  • News reportshistoric · current · captured automatically

What the place has

Capacity signals

Often siloed inside organizations, cut off across boundaries and disciplines.

  • Organization plansresearch · reports · goals
  • Aligned capitalprivate · public · incentives
  • People inputsresidents · practitioners · business owners

What connects the two

Movement signals

What’s here, put to work on what’s needed, tracked as it happens.

  • Commitmentsinvites · yeses · handoffs
  • Flowsmoney · orders · materials · people
  • Progressupdates · deliverables · steps done

The data can prove there’s a market.
Nothing in it shows that what’s here lines up to meet it.

Economy Flow lines them up.

One simple objective can lead to hundreds of steps,
and most of them belong to someone else.

Objectives, big and small

No one individual can hold all of these steps,
but Economy Flow can.

Objectives compound into economies.

Hypothetical

Increase single-family home permits in the urban core of Kansas City from 56 a year to 3,000.

AI holds every step,
so people don’t have to.

  1. Say the objective. One line. We lay out every step it takes.
  2. See what this place can do. Who's here to do each step and how proven they are. What rules and programs apply here. What's changing.
  3. Run it. Invite the people who can do each step. Track every step to done. Keep what's learned in the place.

"Build the district."

Three words.

One objective.

One objective is eight sub-objectives.

Most of them belong to someone else.

Flow lays out every step.

It uses an AI model trained in community psychology.

Eight sub-objectives. Twenty-one streams of work, each in its own language. Seventy-five steps.

Ninety-six handoffs. Each line is one step that can't start until another one finishes.

Without Flow, a stalled step surfaces months late.

A task holder outside your team misunderstood their assignment.

Everything waits for clarification.

Without Flow, whoever picks it up after you has no idea where you left off.

That line is gone, and everything after it.

Then everything that fed it, column by column.

Flow knows the strategy, the ecosystem and the resources.

The strategy: every step, and the order they go in.

The ecosystem: the people and organizations here.

The resources: the programs, money, land and equipment here.

Applied to every step.

Who here can do it. What resources apply.

Before the money moves.

Flow recommends and ranks multiple paths.

Four paths through the same steps.

Flow helps the team conclude the best path.

Based on what this place can do. Every step in someone's hands, or flagged.

Flow runs it.

Each step goes to someone here who can do it, and they say yes.

A late step shows up the same week, not months later.

Whoever picks it up next starts where it was left.

One completed objective feeds the next round.

The place keeps what it learns.

The second objective picks up where the last one stopped.

Flow gathers what the place already knows for each sub-objective.

Demand: what the problem is. Capacity: what the place has. Movement: what connects the two.

Only what each sub-objective needs. Nothing else.
