You’ll still see the name One(Place) inside the product while the new name settles — same software, one name in transition.
And yes, there’s AI in it — kept in the background. A tool extends a person. An agent acts alone. Every tool in One(GoodGov) shows its work and waits for you — nothing writes to your systems without your say-so. Tools, not agents.
Proof
Work our people have led.
Engagements our founder has led
Turlock, CaliforniaDevelopment services & permitting assessment — delivered under a prior consulting firm.
Prescott, ArizonaCommunity development assessment — delivered under a prior consulting engagement.
Where work was delivered under another firm, we say so — we won't imply a Good Local Gov contract that didn't exist.
Proposal stageLindsborg, Kansas
Development services engagement proposal
A proposed engagement for a small city's community development office: sitting with staff to map how permits, planning cases, and public requests actually move through the office, reading the office's own records, and laying out a phased scope of work sized to a small-city budget.
Proposal stage — shown as proposed scope, not delivered work. We label the difference because it matters.
AssessmentPrescott, Arizona
Community development assessment
A full look at the development services system — staffing and structure, permit timelines from the city's own records, statistical analysis with the evidence attached, and plain-language findings written for council.
Work led by our founder, delivered under a prior consulting engagement — not a Good Local Gov contract.
References available on request. We'd rather you hear it from a city than read it in a banner.

HTLG — How To Local Gov
How To Local Gov. Figuring it out together, in public.
HTLG is a community of people learning, building, and thinking about local government out loud — permitting, data, climate, and the work of running an office. It's an occasional note on what we're figuring out and what we're still working out, published on Substack.
