FIVE-YEAR OUTLOOK

How this scenario changes the path

Compare

Compare like with like across jurisdictions, even when source datasets use different category and subcategory labels.

VICTORIAN COUNCILS

Mapped category comparison

Start with a comparison concept, then inspect which source category or service line was used for each council.

Jurisdiction Matched value % of total Matched source lines

Profile

Pick a jurisdiction and see how it ranks against peers across the mapped revenue and spending concepts.

PROFILE COMPARISON

Selected jurisdiction

Compare one jurisdiction across all mapped concept categories.

Peer group 0 jurisdictions
Revenue concepts 0 with mapped values

Heatmap

Scan every jurisdiction against every mapped revenue and spending concept, then sort by the concept that matters.

MATRIX VIEW

All concepts, all selected jurisdictions

Cells show each concept as a share of the jurisdiction's own revenue or spending.

Scope: local jurisdictions / Australia / Victoria. Revenue Spending

Sources

Trace each source collection, the artefacts inside it, what was extracted, and what is still unused or only partly understood.

SOURCE INVENTORY

Loaded source collections

Select a source collection to see its artefacts, fields, extraction status and generated fiscal lines.

Policy Forum

Compare policy ideas that have been created in scenarios, then upvote or downvote the ones you think deserve attention.

COMMUNITY RANKING

Policies ranked by votes

Votes are stored in D1. In this prototype, one local prototype profile can vote once per policy.

Looks for patterns like "$20 per week for everyone over 18". A later AI pass can turn broader assumptions into proposed costs, savings and impacts.
Population input is supplied for this prototype

In the full platform, missing demographic data would be resolved from an authoritative source and pinned to this scenario.

1
Option 1 Guest

Use the studio in this browser only. No profile session is created.

2
Option 2 Anonymous saved profile

Create or recover a profile ID and recovery secret so this workspace can be recovered later without proper credentials.

Recover anonymous profile
3
Option 3 Sign in with Google

Use a credentialed account. If you already have an anonymous saved profile, Google sign-in will link to this workspace.

Google sign-in needs OAuth credentials before it can be used.

Guest mode

Guest changes stay in this browser. No profile session is created for guest use.

Anonymous saved profile

An anonymous saved profile uses a profile ID and recovery secret. Anyone with both can recover that anonymous profile. Common Ground stores only a hashed version of the recovery secret, so we cannot retrieve the secret for you.

Google sign-in

Google sign-in stores the basic account details needed to recognise the signed-in profile, such as the Google account identifier and display name or email if Google provides it. We do not ask Google for Gmail, Drive, Calendar, or contacts access.

Saved scenarios and deletion

When scenario saving is enabled, saved scenario choices will belong to the profile that created them. Deleting a profile deletes the saved workspace and scenarios attached to that profile.

Until self-service deletion is added, use Leave feedback to request deletion.

This will be labelled as a user assumption

It will not be presented as evidence-based until supporting research and an applicable model have been attached.

This concept will be saved locally for the selected government level.

This will clear revenue and spending adjustments, custom tax brackets, custom policies, notes, assumptions, and impacts for the current jurisdiction only. Baseline source data and your selected dataset will be kept. Saved scenarios and checkpoints will not be changed.

This will remove this bracket from the current jurisdiction's working scenario.

Importing adds the source policies and assumptions to the current scenario. The source scenario is not changed.

Share what worked, what confused you, or what would make this more useful. Your note will be submitted with the current jurisdiction, fiscal year, scenario name and page URL.
