Threshkeep · Custom data trackers & dashboards
Messy public data in. Verified dashboards out.
I build the tracker your team keeps meaning to build, then keep it current. It runs in your accounts, and it is yours.

What you get
Most teams know where their data lives. What they lack is someone to collect it on a schedule, force it into one format, check it and put it in front of people.
01 · Build
A tracker built around your question
Data collected from each source of record, by API where there is one and by scraping where it's permitted. One schema, and a dashboard that answers the thing you actually need to know.
02 · Keep
Kept current as sources change
It updates on a schedule, and a failed check publishes nothing, so the last good version stays up. Sources change and collectors break. A Keep plan covers the fixes.
03 · Own
Yours, in your accounts
The build lives in your accounts, and the data lands in a Google Sheet your team can use without me. A full archive stays with you.
The proof is public
poliboards.us is a set of independent boards I designed, built and run. Each one tracks a single question and shows its sources.

Who it's for
- Public affairs and advocacy teamsTracking legislation, dockets, coverage or races across many sources.
- Climate and energy groupsPolicy, regulatory decisions and public climate data in one place.
- Research firmsA dataset that stays current and can be cited back to the original file.
How a build runs
- Scope. One question, the sources behind it, and what "current" means. Usually one week.
- Build. Pipeline, checks and dashboard, reviewed with you as it takes shape. Usually three to five weeks.
- Hand off. It moves into your accounts with a plain-language guide.
- Keep. A monthly plan that covers fixes and updates as sources change.
Need the audience too?
I spent 15+ years in marketing before this. If a tracker needs a briefing, newsletter or campaign around it, I can plan and run that as well.
Have a dataset you wish someone were keeping?
Tell me the question and where the data lives. I'll tell you whether it's buildable and what it would take.
