Contig, a records workspace for county government

contigtech.com Observed source

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A secure workspace where public-agency staff ask questions of their own records and receive answers cited to the source page.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The product is positioned around agency-owned records rather than a shared external database: staff ask questions, receive source-page citations, and operate behind the agency’s own sign-in. Its origin story is unusually specific, naming a large Michigan sheriff’s office, Grand Valley State University, twenty shadowed detectives and clerks, and an August 2026 research and development agreement. The page also says initial work was milestone-paid, with the company retaining intellectual property and the agency receiving a licence.
