Dekree: Local Government Compliance OS

Local government offices (townships, small cities, villages, school districts, fire and water authorities, library boards, and every other kind of public body that serves a community) run on tight teams with few dedicated compliance specialists. A single administrator or clerk often juggles FOIA requests, open meeting requirements, records retention schedules, election deadlines, and a long tail of other legal obligations. Missing one can mean lawsuits, fines, or public loss of trust, and the consequences hit hardest in the small organizations that can least afford them.

We built Dekree, a full compliance operating system powered by a proprietary Compliance Graph: a structured, versioned dataset of every legal obligation that applies to local government entities. The platform automates FOIA response workflows with AI-drafted letters, manages meeting notices and minutes with audio transcription, provides a document vault with full-text search and a workbench for PDF operations, and tracks every deadline with a real-time compliance score dashboard. Whether it's a single-clerk township, a village council, a school district, or a special authority with a handful of administrators, Dekree adapts to how each organization actually runs.

Dekree transforms compliance from reactive firefighting into proactive management. Local government staff get a single dashboard showing their compliance health across FOIA, meetings, documents, and calendared obligations, with AI handling the heavy lifting of drafting, classification, and deadline calculation. The platform is live at dekree.ai with pricing that starts at just $49/month, keeping it well under the discretionary spending thresholds that typically require board approval in small public bodies.
