Usability testing for permit dashboard prototype

Open Budget Lab

Recruit 8-10 residents for a one-hour dashboard test.

Open Budget Lab has a prototype that explains permit wait times by neighborhood. They need nontechnical residents to try the dashboard, name confusing parts, and suggest the questions the tool should answer first.

Hosting and data cleanup for budget explorer

Open Budget Lab

Suggested grant: $5,100

The budget explorer is useful but fragile. Funding would cover a year of hosting, spreadsheet cleanup, and a small stipend for the volunteer maintaining the data dictionary.
