Ask Strata
Ask the way you would ask a colleague who had read everything. “What did we decide about this rezoning in 2019?” The answer comes back with the minutes attached.
Built for local government leaders
Helping you make
informed decisions
for your community.
Strata connects years of official city records so you can research an issue, prepare for a meeting, and see the context behind a decision — with the page every answer came from.

What is Strata
Your city already
published the answer.
Cities publish an enormous amount: agendas, packets, minutes, budgets, ordinances, contracts. It is all public, and almost none of it is usable in the ten minutes before a vote.
Strata reads what your city has already made public and answers questions from it. Nothing is invented — every answer points back to the document and the page, so you can check it before you repeat it in a meeting.
Features
Three ways officials use Strata.
Meeting Prep
A brief for the agenda in front of you. Every item, what led to it, what the council already decided, and what it is going to cost.
City Snapshot
The city’s finances on one page — revenue, spending, the tax rate, what moved since last year, and what the city pays by job title.
See it work
Every answer shows its source.
Real questions, answered from the City of Schertz’s published record. Pick one, then open the page it came from.
These are cached runs of the live system. Request a demo to ask your own questions.
How it works
Four steps, no new process.
Strata reads your public record
Agendas, packets, minutes, budgets, ordinances and contracts — whatever your city already publishes. No new system for anyone to maintain.
You ask in plain language
No search syntax and no training session. Ask the question you would otherwise have asked the clerk.
The answer arrives with its sources
Each claim carries a citation to the exact page, shown beside the answer so you are never asked to take it on trust.
You verify, then decide
Open the page, confirm it, and take it into the meeting. Strata prepares the ground; the decision stays yours.
Who it’s for
Built for the people who serve communities.

Come up to speed on a file you inherited, without reading four years of minutes to do it.
