Products of the local intelligence layer.
Fractals collects fragmented local signals, structures them into a Community Graph, and distributes intelligence through trusted community products — so residents and operators can see what happened, what changed, and what matters.
Community Intelligence Products
Live community nodes on the Fractals network. Each market gets a branded destination powered by shared data infrastructure: What Changed, analytics, civic coverage, events, notices, and distribution.
What Changed
Meaningful local changes — government, housing, development, safety, business, events — not just an endless feed.
Community Graph
People, places, properties, projects, decisions, and relationships structured over time.
Civic Automation
Meetings, courts, records, weather, and recurring local updates collected and explained.
Distribute & Act
Email, SMS, social, print, notices, and revenue tools that put intelligence in front of people.
Local Data Layer
For teams that already publish somewhere else. Add Fractals intelligence modules to Beehiiv, Substack, WordPress, a CMS, or a custom site — same data layer, modular surface.
Embeds
Drop-in widgets for analytics, approval ratings, events, records, local facts, and sponsorship inventory.
APIs
Structured local data feeds for publishers and teams that want native integration.
Newsletter Blocks
Reusable local data snippets, rankings, briefs, and story ideas for daily or weekly sends.
Sponsorable Inventory
Turn data modules into recurring ad products: weather, gas prices, ratings, events, records, and more.
Core intelligence modules
The full community product brings these together; the Data Layer lets partners embed the same intelligence elsewhere.
Stories, Events, Polls & Ratings
Daily stories, event calendars, Approval Ratings, polls, announcements, submissions, moderation, and embeddable results.
Local Analytics
Gas prices, rainfall, court filings, jail counts, economic indicators, weather, civic metrics, and market-specific datapoints.
Automated Civic Coverage
Public meetings, courts, public records, information requests, obituaries, weather, and other recurring coverage that became too time-consuming manually.
Public Notices
Notice intake, publishing, payments, proofing, affidavits, print placement — and structured notice data for the Community Graph.
Local Business SEO
Claimable business pages, directory data, offers, job posts, announcements, and search visibility for local companies.
Distribution Engine
Email, SMS, social assets, print editions, newsletters, and subscriber products that deliver local intelligence.
Intelligence has to reach people — and sustain itself.
