Municipal knowledge,
connected around the work.

Townory turns fragmented municipal records into connected, usable knowledge — helping municipalities and professionals recover institutional memory, compare approaches across jurisdictions, work directly with authoritative records, and carry research and evidence forward across projects and teams.

01 — MEMORY

MY MUNICIPALITY

Recover the history behind a decision.

Reconnect decisions, commitments, approvals and project history across departments and years. Ask what happened, who decided, what was required and what the later record establishes.

TRACE DECISION HISTORY
Follow a project or issue across reports, approvals, conditions and later records.
RECOVER COMMITMENTS
See what was required, who required it and what subsequent records establish.
STAY CONNECTED TO EVIDENCE
Important findings remain linked to the records that support them.

02 — PRECEDENT

ACROSS MUNICIPALITIES

See how other municipalities approached it.

Compare policies, decisions and municipal approaches while preserving the differences between jurisdictions and the evidence behind each one.

COMPARE JURISDICTIONS
Research the same issue across multiple municipalities.
PRESERVE LOCAL CONTEXT
Keep differences in terminology, requirements and authority visible.

03 — SOURCE

MUNICIPAL LIBRARY

Research from the authoritative record.

Browse governed municipal documents, find the exact provision, and ask questions directly against the record while keeping the source and its context visible.

Municipal Library sequence: choose a municipality, browse official documents, then ask a question answered directly from the record with the source cited.
BROWSE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS
Plans, by-laws, policies, standards and other municipal records.
ASK THE RECORD
Research a specific document without losing its source context.
VERIFY THE SOURCE
Move from an answer back to the exact document and provision supporting it.

04 — CONTINUITY

PROJECT WORKSPACE

Carry the work forward with your team.

Keep research, evidence, conversations and outputs together around the project. Collaborate on important findings, preserve project context and turn research into work products that can be shared.

Project Workspace sequence: add your team, discuss and highlight findings, then create outputs and share them.
WORK TOGETHER
Add collaborators and organize access around the project.
DISCUSS AND PRESERVE CONTEXT
Comment on findings, highlight important evidence and keep discussion connected to the work.
CREATE AND SHARE
Turn saved research into outputs and share project knowledge with the people who need it.

From a question to institutional knowledge.

A question may begin in one part of Townory and continue through the others. Recover what happened internally. Look outward for relevant precedent. Verify the authoritative record. Then preserve the research, evidence and discussion inside the project where the work continues.

Built for trust

Municipal intelligence you can verify.

Townory doesn't ask professionals to trust an AI-generated answer on its own. Findings remain connected to the authoritative municipal record so users can see where information came from, understand its context, and verify the evidence themselves.

01 — AUTHORITATIVE SOURCES

Start with the record.

Research is grounded in governed municipal sources rather than treating the open web as an undifferentiated source of truth.

02 — EVIDENCE ATTACHED

See what supports the finding.

Important findings stay connected to the supporting document and evidence so professionals can inspect the record themselves.

03 — CONTEXT PRESERVED

Keep the meaning around the evidence.

Municipality, document, decision history and jurisdictional context remain attached so information is not flattened into a context-free answer.

04 — EVIDENCE GAPS

Know what the record does not establish.

Townory distinguishes between what the available evidence supports and what it does not, rather than filling missing parts of the record with plausible conclusions.

Purpose-built

Not just an answer. The record behind it.

General-purpose AI can produce a plausible response. Municipal work requires something more: knowing which record supports a finding, which municipality it belongs to, what authority it carries, what changed over time, and where the available evidence stops.

Townory is designed around that requirement. It keeps research connected to municipal sources and preserves the context professionals need to evaluate the result themselves.

Who it's for

Built for people working with municipal decisions.

Townory is designed for municipal planners, policy professionals, engineers and other public-sector teams — and for the planners, architects, engineers, developers, consultants and other professionals who work with municipal records and decisions.

Municipal teams

  • Planning
  • Policy
  • Engineering
  • Clerks and administration
  • Development review

  • Engineers
  • Developers
  • Planning and development consultants
  • Other advisors working with municipal approvals and policy

Designed to show its work.

Townory is not designed to replace professional judgment or turn incomplete evidence into certainty. When the available record does not establish something, the product should make that limitation visible rather than present an unsupported conclusion as fact.
