CivicInsight: The Lens

CivicInsight sharpens visibility. It helps teams examine equity, power, and justice across six ethical dimensions—without resorting to vague aspiration or box-checking.

CivicInsight is a diagnostic lens that encourages civic professionals to ask: What patterns are we perpetuating? What voices are centered? What historical legacies are we repeating, confronting, or repairing?

The tool is structured around six frames: relational ethics, systems ethics, virtue ethics, procedural justice, distributive justice, and narrative repair. These help agencies move from compliance to clarity.

Whether reviewing a street design, a funding model, or an internal policy, CivicInsight surfaces what’s hidden—and why it matters. It’s a framework for honest questioning that leads to ethical refinement, not just performative review.
