zero hallucination limit
Civic-tech shouldn't speculate. It must cite verified sources.
I built DotaBD, a bilingual civic-tech agent designed to answer complex policy, transition, and regulatory questions for citizens in Bangladesh. Grounded strictly on verified PDFs and ministry sources, the agent refuses to speculate.
This tech accompanies my civic writing for major national publications like the Dhaka Tribune, where I share concrete policy recommendations for the interim government to bridge the gap between administrative intent and citizen action.
What I've shipped in civic & policy.
Three engagement shapes.
I move in with your founders. Spec, prototype, prod. You own the IP from day one.
Roadmap, hire 2-3 engineers, set up the audit + compliance posture.
Architecture, compliance, hire bar, AI readiness. Written report + 60-min review.
Send the brief, get a real reply.
Your industry gets a structured 24-hour response: a fit score, the three risks I see, and a one-call ask.
Healthcare
I've built telemedicine in COVID's first month, healthtech for a Norwegian Series A, and audit tools for under-resourced clinics in South Asia. Different stakes, same loop.
