I Know That, Mayor!

Daily civic audit of São José dos Campos' R$ 4.8 billion budget across ten critical public areas, translated into engaging 16-bit gameplay aesthetics by Antunes the auditor bot.

The Problem

Municipal budget accountability in a city of R$ 4.8 billion is typically obscured behind cumbersome transparency portals, opaque official gazettes, and slow public information requests. Citizens and journalists often learn of waste only after damages are done.

What I Built

A civic auditing portal designed with 16-bit retro aesthetic where citizens play in "hard mode against municipal inefficiency." Auditor bot Antunes tracks ten critical sectors daily (the "bosses"), cross-examining tenders, contracts, pharmacy stockouts, and bus schedules, generating automated oversight dossiers for city council members.

Data Sources

São José dos Campos Municipal Transparency Portal · City Official Gazette · Municipal Health Management System (pharmacies & appointments) · Transit Authority (Urbam) · City Council Legislative Records · Access to Information (LAI) filings.

Outcome

Ten public oversight tracks updated daily with automatic anomaly alerts when metrics fluctuate over 10%, delivering verifiable dossiers directly to the city's 21 elected council members.
