Mir Labs researches, builds, and publishes open technology and open data, the infrastructure a transparent society runs on, and keeps it usable when the institutions behind it let it rot.
01
Measuring how open the open actually is: auditing public data portals, disclosure pipelines, and the infrastructure transparency depends on.
02
Open-source, self-hostable software that turns published records into usable, verifiable datasets, and audits of the civic-tech stack underneath it: no vendor, no lock-in, no black boxes.
03
Clean, documented, versioned datasets liberated from scanned PDFs and broken portals, free for anyone to use and build on.
