About Us

GovAsk was built to help government agencies ask natural questions of their datasets, trust the answers, and make evidence-based decisions. This page is a short overview of who we are and where we’re going.

Who We Are

We are a multidisciplinary team of developers, data scientists, and policy thinkers passionate about making public sector data more usable and trustworthy.

Our Vision

GovAsk aims to become the go-to interface for government decision-making, where every answer is transparent, auditable, and accurate. Our long-term vision is to embed trust and accountability into every interaction with government datasets.

Roadmap

  • Short term: Improve dataset connectors and add more pre-built queries.
  • Medium term: Introduce customizable trust scoring and role-based access control.
  • Long term: Position GovAsk as a secure AI data layer across multiple government departments.

Our Values

  • Accuracy: 90% is not enough — answers must be exact.
  • Transparency: every answer comes with an audit trail.
  • Ethics: strong commitment to privacy, bias prevention, and accountability.
  • Collaboration: built to work across departments, not in silos.
