Ordinal

Ordinal is an AI research assistant designed specifically for municipal governments. It uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to answer questions by pulling information directly from your city's approved documents, codes, GIS data, meeting notes, ordinances, and archives. Rather than generating answers from general training data, it grounds responses in your actual institutional knowledge, reducing errors and ensuring compliance with local regulations. The tool deploys quickly, with most councils operational within two weeks and only 45 minutes of onboarding required. It centralises scattered information across departments, automatically updates when documents change, and tracks who accessed what through audit logs. Ordinal doesn't replace staff or decision-making; it handles the research legwork so employees can focus on analysis and action.
