VTC builds visual, analytical, and participatory tools that improve how planners and citizens understand, navigate, and shape urban systems.
VTC standardizes visual intelligence for public systems, equipping every city with tools that clarify civic structure and expand public access to institutional memory.
The VTC System
VTC builds to correct systemic dysfunctions in civic planning through a unified, data-driven approach.
The Problem: Systemic Dysfunctions
Real Impact: A family must navigate 12+ separate systems to address interconnected needs.
Real Impact: A school district must rebuild enrollment projections that already exist in provincial housing data.
Real Impact: New school trustees spend over 200 hours rediscovering planning decisions made just 3 years earlier.
Real Impact: Community opposition to development increases, delaying critical housing projects.
Our Solution: The Diagonal Approach
Unlike traditional solutions that operate in silos, VTC works diagonally to integrate data and align stakeholders across institutional boundaries, creating a coherent view of the entire civic ecosystem.
Vertical Integration
Connecting school boards to ministries, municipalities to provinces.
Horizontal Connection
Linking education, healthcare, housing, and transportation data.
The Diagonal Approach
Synthesizing vertical and horizontal data to empower users and enable true systems-level planning.
Core Technology
Our platforms provide the foundation for integrated civic intelligence.
The Central Nervous System for Integrated Planning
The SID serves as our foundational data layer. It is not just a database, but a coherent system that links education, health, housing, and mobility data, providing a unified foundation for cross-sector planning.

Beliefs & Governance
We build according to a clear set of beliefs, standardizing a governance model designed for long-range accountability and public trust.
VTC's AI agents are governed by a protocol-first architecture (Model Context Protocol). They trace every output to a visible input, respect institutional boundaries, and allow for oversight and audit. VTC uses AI to assist judgment and clarify tradeoffs, not to predict or overrule public action.
VTC's process is structured around Memoranda of Understanding, co-design workshops, and shared stewardship protocols. VTC builds with future stewards in mind, ensuring its systems last through turnover, elections, and generational change.
VTC's monetization model includes: Licensed Tools (Catchment Maker, SID), Sponsorships for free tools, API/Data Services for commercial users, and Workshops/Consulting engagements. This balanced model supports version control, institutional adoption, and intergenerational durability.
VTC maintains advisory pathways to ensure updates serve long-term institutional memory. Every version ships with documentation, rationale, and change tracking. VTC's tools are built to embed into existing workflows and support local discretion, not centralized control.
