The report is yours
A finished briefing is yours to keep, publish to your own portal at your own address, or delete.
Who it's for · Municipal governments
The staff report goes public Friday. Read the reaction Thursday.
A rezoning, a levy increase, a route change, a branch closure. Presaga builds a simulated audience from the people your decision actually touches — the residents on the affected streets, the users of that service, the ratepayers' association, the local reporter, council itself. It lets them react to the wording you are about to publish, and hands back a briefing on how it is likely to land and what to change while you can still change it.

In plain terms
Before the report is published, a simulated version of your community reads it and reacts. A panel of AI reviewers argues over what those reactions mean. You get a written briefing — not a poll, not a consultation — showing where objections are likely to concentrate and which wording blunts them.
The moments
The decisions a community reacts to first.
Council can read the room in the chamber. These are the ones where the room is the whole municipality, and you only meet it after the report is public.
Moment
Consultation and open houses
How the question is framed decides who shows up and who stays home. Test the notice and the display boards before they go to print.
Moment
Zoning and development
Two streets read the same rezoning two entirely different ways. See both readings before the public meeting, not during it.
Moment
Transit and infrastructure
Route changes, detours and capital projects, where support and opposition rarely line up the way the map suggests they will.
Moment
Tax and levy changes
Residents feel a levy personally. The explanation matters as much as the number, and one unguarded sentence becomes the headline.
Moment
Facility decisions
A new build, a relocation, an arena or a branch closure. The people closest to it organize first, and they organize fastest.
Moment
Service changes and cuts
Reductions where tone, timing and fairness decide whether the community accepts the reason or only hears the loss.
Which product fits
Three products. One engine.
All three run on PRISM. They show how people are likely to react — they do not tell you what will happen, and they do not replace hearing from residents. Pick the one that matches the decision in front of council.

Presaga Campaign
The consultation notice, the budget message, the rezoning explainer. Campaign compares framings across the wards and interests they land in, and never invents a concession council has not approved.

Something happened
Presaga Crisis
A boil-water advisory, an incident at a facility, an unplanned closure, a story the local paper is about to run. Crisis drafts the statement from your facts and tests it against residents, council and the reporter.

People are already talking
Presaga Pulse
The comments under the bylaw post have been piling up all weekend and nobody has replied. Pulse reads the thread, finds where else it's being discussed, plays it forward, and tests replying against staying out.

The email and the brief in — refine first, with the line that lands, the line that doesn't, and the discount not to invent.

The usual way vs. a PRISM briefing
What finding out early usually costs a municipality.
Published Canadian figures, taken from a city's own report and from federal contract records. Every one of them is sourced on the Compare page.
The usual way
A consultation program, a commissioned poll, or the comments after the vote.
A municipality that wants to know in advance has three options: stage an engagement program, commission research, or publish the report and read what comes back. The first two are budget items with lead times measured in months. The third is free and arrives too late to change anything.
With a PRISM briefing
One briefing, this week, with its evidence attached.
Describe the decision in your own words, or paste the staff report. PRISM builds the audience from the people it touches, drafts the wording if you don't have it yet, tests it, and hands back a briefing with the reasoning, the disagreements and the citations attached.
Figures as published: the City of Toronto City Manager's report to Executive Committee (March 2024), and three Government of Canada polling contracts, 2023–2025, with named suppliers and exact contract values. Every figure and its source is on the Compare page.
Where the material sits
Draft reports and resident material stay in Canada.
A draft staff report, an unreleased consultation plan, the correspondence behind a closure: a municipality has to be able to say where those files live.
Your account, documents and reports are hosted and stored in Canada, encrypted at rest. On the standard service the AI model that processes your content runs outside Canada; if your rules require in-country processing end to end, we run PRISM for you on dedicated Canadian hardware as a private deployment.
For public bodies
What we can state plainly, and what a briefing is not.
Three things a clerk, a CAO or a procurement reviewer will want in writing before anything is uploaded.
What is encrypted, and who can see what
The Security page describes exactly what is encrypted and who can see what.
What a briefing is not
A PRISM briefing is a simulation of likely reaction. It does not satisfy any statutory notice or consultation requirement, and it is not a poll of residents.
