Offerings
Built for European governments, operators, and the public interest.
Capabilities
Free public tool
Public money should be public. Not just on paper.
Civitas aggregates official public-finance data from across European jurisdictions and turns it into a single readable interface. Every budget line, every procurement contract, every subsidy, in one place.
The case
Public spending is technically published. Budget documents go up on government websites. Procurement contracts are filed on official portals. Audit office reports appear on schedule. The data exists.
The friction sits between the data and the citizen. PDFs scattered across dozens of portals. Inconsistent formats across jurisdictions. Different languages. Terminology that varies by ministry. A motivated person can find what they need, eventually. The rest of us give up. Civitas removes the friction.

How it works
01
Aggregate
Civitas pulls data directly from official government publication sources, audit office releases, and regulatory disclosure portals.
02
Normalise
Records are normalised into a consistent schema across jurisdictions, so spending in Berlin can be compared to spending in Lyon.
03
Surface
The data is searchable, browsable, and downloadable through the Civitas interface. No login required to read.

What Civitas is and isn't
Civitas surfaces data. It does not editorialise, allege, or accuse. The platform makes public information legible and lets readers draw their own conclusions. If you find something in the data that warrants investigation, we recommend forwarding it to qualified journalists or to the appropriate national audit or anti-corruption authority.
Civitas is free, open, and online today.
