Transparent Britain Ltd
Public data has a usability problem. We fix it.
We turn the inconsistent records UK councils are legally required to publish into clean, comparable datasets — and the tools to make sense of them. Our first product, Transparent Council, tracks spending across 100 English councils.
Data engineering
Messy CSVs and PDF exports become clean, queryable, cross-council datasets — deduplicated suppliers, standardised categories, verifiable sources.
Public tools
Dashboards and search built for people who aren't data analysts: journalists, councillors, residents, auditors.
Neutral by design
We publish the numbers and the tools to read them. We don't take a position on what they show — that's not our job.
