Open data
Public environmental records — permits, monitoring readings, inspection and enforcement history — gathered from open government sources.
Open data → agents → the law
Open environmental data, in service of the laws that already exist.
OSENV builds open-source tools that put public environmental data to work, starting with software that helps communities and attorneys use the laws already on the books.
How it works
An honest pipeline: no magic, no overpromising.
Three steps, end to end. Public data goes in; the software assembles a draft against a law that already exists; a person who is accountable decides what to do with it.
Agents
Software reads the record and assembles a structured draft, citing the authorities it relied on and flagging every judgment for a human to check.
The law that exists
The draft maps onto instruments already on the books — notices, petitions, comment letters — that communities and attorneys can actually use.
It drafts; a licensed attorney decides.Read the disclaimer →
Build with us
This is a recruiting call, not a launch announcement.
OSENV is early and open by design. We're looking for people who want to put public environmental data to work in service of laws that already exist: engineers, environmental attorneys, data stewards, organizers, and public-interest partners who can pressure-test what we build against real cases.
