Automating the Reporting Process
Traditionally, local governments rely on consultants to produce economic and workforce development reports. This process involves lengthy procurement cycles and can take up to six months from the initial request to the delivery of insights. Our platform changes this by automating the entire reporting process.
For instance, we produced a detailed innovation economy report for the City of Carlsbad, California, in a fraction of the time it would typically take. Our platform combines automated data collection, advanced preprocessing, and the strategic application of large language models to generate reports in minutes rather than months.
A New Delivery Model: Metropolis IQ Insights
With Metropolis IQ Insights, we offer a monthly SaaS-based subscription service that provides instant access to reports, bypassing the traditional RFP procurement path. Here's how it works:
Instant Access: Simple reports are available immediately through our intuitive platform.
In-Depth Reports: Users can request more detailed reports, which are delivered directly to their email and accessible on our platform.
Automatic Updates: Our reports automatically update with the latest data, typically every month, ensuring users always have the most current insights.
This new delivery model not only saves time but also ensures that local governments have the data they need when they need it, enabling them to make proactive and informed decisions.
Real-World Impact
We are already seeing significant traction with early sales to local governments, workforce agencies, and consultants who traditionally serve these entities. The speed and efficiency of our platform are helping these organizations operate more effectively, allowing them to focus on strategic initiatives rather than being bogged down by lengthy report generation processes.
The Future of Local Government Reporting
Our vision for the future extends beyond just speed. We aim to empower local government leaders to provide more in-depth and comprehensive services to their residents. By automating routine tasks and providing real-time data insights, officials can spend more time meeting with business leaders, developing programs that strengthen the community, and addressing pressing issues proactively.
Imagine a future where AI not only identifies at-risk businesses and occupations in your community but also provides insights into the underlying causes and suggests actionable steps to mitigate these risks. This is the generative AI future we envision at Metropolis IQ.
