Know First.
The intelligence terminal for local government. Proceedings, politics, press, and players — across Massachusetts — in one living picture.
Early warning · Stakeholder intelligence· The path to a better outcome
// The Problem //
Blindsided Is A Choice.
- Federal uncertainty is pushing the fights that matter to the local level
- A council vote can move faster than your government-affairs calendar
- The conversation starts in hearing rooms, local press, and community threads — long before it reaches you
- By the time it's on your desk, the coalition is already formed

// Who It Serves //
One terminal. Every seat at the table.

Massachusetts. End to end.
From Boston City Hall to town meeting in the Berkshires — 351 cities and towns, one intelligence layer. Structured feeds where they exist; analysts in the room where they don't.

Fragmented Isn't Informed.
Local government doesn't happen in one place. It happens in council chambers, committee rooms, planning offices, local press, and community threads — each holding a fragment.
Munin fuses the fragments into one picture, matched to your institution — so the first time you hear about a threat is never at the hearing.

// FAQ //
Straight Answers.
The full surface of local government as it touches your institution: development and zoning, Article 80 and master plans, PILOT and tax policy, council and committee proceedings, the public officials shaping each decision, local press and community sentiment, and election signals — fused into one intelligence picture, refreshed nightly.
Cambridge is live. Boston and Somerville are in deployment, and the roadmap runs across all 351 Massachusetts cities and towns. Portfolio engagements prioritize your geographies.
From your parcels: everything you own or lease, plus a monitoring radius around each — assembled before your first call. No data entry, no integration project.
No. Munin is intelligence, not advocacy. We analyze public proceedings and public officials in their public capacity, and we never contact officials on your behalf. What you do with the picture is up to you.
High-priority signals alert in real time. The full intelligence cycle runs nightly — anything above your threshold is in your inbox within 24 hours, and agendas are analyzed the night they post, usually days before the hearing.
Only your team. Your footprint, watchlists, and briefs are never shared, pooled, or disclosed — including to other subscribers. What we watch for you, and why, is yours alone.
Nothing Happens At City Hall Without You Knowing First.
And when it does, you'll know the landscape, the players, and the path.
