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.
