For municipalities

Six weeks, not six months.

See the signal early and you have a six-week window. Work from annual statistics and you have a six-month crisis.

Not a failure of your team. A failure of the instrumentation, and fixable.

Module 02

The Social Observatory

Neighbourhood-level early-warning intelligence. Monitors integration signals, cohesion risk indicators, and service demand shifts, and surfaces the change while there is still a window to respond.

What a Monday morning looks like

Each row is a neighbourhood, a signal, a timestamp, and a confidence value. The platform says what moved and which indicators drove it. Your team decides.

Sample data
Action

Barri A

Social services first-contact volume up against the twelve-week baseline, concentrated in two service points.

Mon 09:000.87
Watch

Barri D

School enrolment enquiries outside the ordinary window, sustained across three reporting cycles.

Mon 09:000.74
Watch

Barri F

Employment office registrations rising while vacancy postings in the same sector also rise.

Fri 17:000.61 below threshold
Steady

Barri B

Housing advice contacts returned to baseline after six weeks above it.

Fri 17:000.91

Barri F sits below the reporting threshold this week. It is shown, flagged, and excluded from the composite index. There is no setting that hides it.

The neighbourhood view

A single-hue ramp of five steps, against pinned boundary definitions. Where a neighbourhood has insufficient data, the map says so rather than interpolating across the gap. A map that guesses is worse than a map with a hole in it.

Where the data comes from

  • Municipal administrative data, anonymised at the ingestion boundary
  • INE, Idescat, SEPE, and Social Security open data
  • PostGIS with OpenStreetMap, Catalan cadastral, and Idescat boundaries, version-pinned

Indicators below the confidence threshold are excluded from the composite cohesion index and flagged in the report, not quietly dropped. The report says which ones and why.

Module 04

The Policy Simulator

Agent-based simulation that lets a municipality model the effect of an integration policy decision before making it.

One worked scenario

A municipality is deciding where to place additional language-support capacity for the coming academic year. It has enough funding for one site, and three candidate districts.

The simulator models each placement against the current cohort distribution, existing service capacity, and travel time from residence to site. It returns the projected share of the eligible cohort reached within twelve months under each option, with the assumptions stated on the same view.

The director takes both the result and the assumptions to the council. The council decides. The platform did not.

Every simulation output is dashed in charts and captioned modelled. A simulation is never presented as a measurement.

What a pilot delivers

The report is the product.

A pilot is designed backwards from a publishable impact report. Every artefact below is committed in the engagement, with the week it lands and the person it is written for.

Procurement and funding

Five routes to fund this, and what we do on each.

We prepare the application. Your team signs it.

Red.es and SEDIA run design contests that procure a pilot directly, in the €50,000 to €150,000 band, without a full open tender.

What we do
We are registered on Red.es and SEDIA and hold a prepared application template. We draft the technical annex, the compliance section, and the evaluation criteria mapping. Your team signs it.

Employment, inclusion, and skills programmes, routed through the Generalitat and the Spanish managing authority.

What we do
The pilot is designed backwards from an ESF+-ready report. We provide the indicator framework, the baseline methodology, and the output documentation in the format the managing authority asks for.

Integration measures at municipal and regional level.

What we do
We supply the evidence base and the monitoring framework for the application, and the reporting artefacts for the drawdown.

The Catalan neighbourhood regeneration instrument, which requires documented diagnosis at neighbourhood level.

What we do
The Observatory produces exactly the neighbourhood-level diagnosis the instrument requires, with the method and the limitations included.

National programme requiring documented integration and cohesion outcomes.

What we do
We map the Observatory indicator set onto the plan reporting requirements and produce the outcome documentation.

Built for the DPO

Compliance is the doorway, not the disclaimer.

Your Data Protection Officer will read this before you reply to us. It is written for them.

  • Anonymisation at ingestion

    No individual-level data reaches the AI layer.

    No individual-level data enters the AI processing layer. Analysis runs on aggregated and pseudonymised data, and the rule is enforced at the pipeline boundary rather than by convention.
  • EU data residency

    EU infrastructure, Catalan residency for Catalan deployments.

    Infrastructure in EU jurisdiction, with Catalan data residency for Catalan deployments. The sub-processor list is published and versioned.
  • Per-module EU AI Act classification

    Classified per module, before deployment, because they differ.

    The classification is documented per module before deployment, because the modules are not equivalent. Employment-related matching is treated under the high-risk obligations. The civic analysis modules are advisory decision-support for institutions.
  • A human decides

    The platform ranks and explains. A person decides.

    The platform ranks, explains, and projects. A qualified human makes every hiring and every policy decision, and the decision is logged against their identity.
  • DPA before ingestion

    Signed, and your DPO briefed, before a record moves.

    A signed Data Processing Agreement and a briefed Data Protection Officer before a single record moves. The system refuses to create a data source without a recorded DPA reference.
  • Exportable audit trail

    Every output keeps what produced it, and exports.

    Every match, alert, and projection persists its inputs, model version, driving features, and confidence value. Exportable for labour inspection and public audit.

What you keep

You keep everything.

Whatever we build from your data, you keep. The raw files, the derived datasets, the methodology, and the platform access. If you stopped working with us tomorrow, you would still hold everything we produced together.

A consultancy keeps the model

A software vendor keeps the data

You keep both

And, for this engagement specifically

  • The pre-filled EU fund reporting templates, ready for the application rather than summarised for it.
  • The neighbourhood cohesion index as a dataset, in CSV, with the visualisations.
Every dataset, document, and definition above is already yours and stays yours. What is still being settled is how long platform access continues after an engagement ends and is not renewed. Ask in the diagnostic conversation and you will get the current answer in writing rather than a shrug.

Pricing

What it costs, stated plainly.

We publish the band rather than a starting-from figure, because a procurement officer who cannot budget for a thing cannot begin the process for it.

Annual platform licence

€60,000 – €150,000

Scaled on resident population and the modules deployed.

  • Social Observatory across the agreed neighbourhood boundaries
  • Policy Simulator running the reviewed parameter set
  • Weekly signal report and monthly analytical report
  • Data Processing Agreement, DPIA support, and the per-module AI Act classification pack
  • Onboarding, indicator design, and named analyst support

Pilot and GovTech contest engagement

€50,000 – €150,000

Single-municipality pilot, typically procured through a GovTech Design Contest.

  • Two-week Diagnostic Sprint
  • Observatory deployed on real municipal data
  • A published, ESF+-ready impact report at the end of the engagement
  • Support on the contest or funding application itself

The GovTech Design Contest band (€50K–€150K) is set by Red.es and SEDIA, not by us.

All figures are annual and all-inclusive. Onboarding is included. There are no discounts, no bundles, and no limited-time pricing.

Start with a diagnostic conversation.

Not a demo. A conversation about what you are trying to decide, what timeline you are working to, and what data you already hold. If the answer is that the platform cannot help you yet, we would rather say that in the first conversation than in month four.
