Parliament made council spending public. We turn it into intelligence.
“The Freedom of Information Act opened the door. Compair AI walks through it.” Jordan, Founder
The gap
UK councils spend hundreds of billions of pounds every year, and by law every payment is public. But each council publishes it its own way: hundreds of formats, nothing that matches. The data is public, yet almost unusable. Transparency in name only.
Our approach
We bring it all together: one dataset covering every council, every supplier and every pound. Standardised by machine learning, weighed fairly and read in context, so like is compared with like. On top of it: benchmarking, market intelligence and advanced analytics.
The leap
Councils spot savings potential in seconds. Suppliers see the whole market. Residents follow their council tax to the pound. Public data becomes public insight: councils brought into the era of AI.
