§ Platform · Ideating and building the initial product

Public records, structured for software.

Things is building a platform that turns fragmented public records into clean, continuously updated datasets. We automate collection, normalization, and delivery through APIs for businesses and AI applications.

§ Product brief

Ideating and building the initial product

Public information is often published across disconnected systems, inconsistent formats, and update schedules that make it difficult to use in software.

The platform automates collection, normalization, maintenance, and delivery so customers can work with stable datasets instead of rebuilding source-specific pipelines. Access is planned through web and mobile applications and documented APIs.

§ Data lifecycle

From source to usable record.

A continuous sequence keeps each delivered dataset traceable, consistent, and current.

  1. 01

    Collect

    Acquire records from disconnected public sources through repeatable, monitored workflows.

  2. 02

    Normalize

    Resolve inconsistent formats and fields into stable, queryable data models.

  3. 03

    Maintain

    Recheck sources, track changes, and keep delivered datasets current over time.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Make the resulting data available through web and mobile applications and documented APIs.

§ Designed for

Businesses

Use normalized public information in research, operations, analysis, and customer-facing products without maintaining separate collection systems.

Consumers

Find and use public information through clear web and mobile experiences instead of navigating fragmented source systems.

AI applications

Connect AI and application workflows to structured, maintained datasets through documented APIs.

§ Planned AWS foundation

Cloud infrastructure for a data-intensive product.

The platform is planned to run primarily on AWS. The architecture will support scalable collection, serverless processing, data warehousing, and core AI/ML workloads as source coverage and customer demand grow.

Scalable data architecture

Cloud infrastructure designed to grow with source coverage, update frequency, and customer demand.

Serverless processing

Event-driven collection and transformation workloads that can scale independently as records change.

Data warehousing

Structured storage and query layers for maintained datasets, analytics, and customer delivery.

AI & machine learning

AI/ML capabilities for understanding inconsistent records and making normalized data more useful.
