Our Work
Solutions
Solutions for humanity born from engaging, thinking, connecting, and co-developing.
Our staff have decades of experience in policy, research, data analysis, political science, foresight, and more. We plan to work with partners across the United States and its territories to bring the best, most valuable ideas and best practices to everyone, everywhere, all the time.
Our projects
Bright Spots
Apricity plans to find bright spots where good policies are yielding extraordinary outcomes across all issues and systems – social, technological, economic, environmental, political, and health. Through research, robust data analysis, and machine learning, we will understand fully which factors are contributing to those outcomes. Together with communities that do not yet have access to these policies or solutions, we will engage with the communities themselves to see if, how, and when, they may want to implement in a way that makes sense for them.
Data Available to Everyone, Everywhere, All the Time
Governments at all levels tend to experiment with new technologies, data, and services by letting 1,000 pilot projects bloom. Many of those pilot projects are in the same or similar geographic areas creating massive inequality and inequity. Some have massive amounts of data and information; others have almost nothing. Apricity plans to shine a light on these practices and recommend which data sets should be available to everyone, everywhere, all the time. Apricity also plans to lead foresight activities, including expanding the approaches and data necessary for identifying the key trends and for identifying the related sensitivities, probabilities, and confidence intervals. Other planned activities include pilot programs such as hack-a-thons, simulations, and data attribution labels/systems.

Visualize the Future
Apricity plans to serve all interested stakeholders by providing tailored workflows, filtered reports, and visualizations that make the understanding, transfer, and diffusion of solutions inevitable. The more everyone can understand and comprehend, the greater uptake and proliferation of solutions each community has chosen for themselves
Be the Hub
Working in an interdisciplinary, cross-sector, truly nationwide way will require convening experts to co-develop approaches; to synthesize and publish the findings; and to coordinate in-person and virtual events for the understanding, transfer, and diffusion of solutions. Apricity plans to be the hub of great ideas and community-led implementation.
