An open project that uses data science - the same technologies used by giants like Google, Facebook and Netflix - for the purpose of monitoring public spending and sharing information in a way accessible to everyone.

The idea came from the data scientist Irio Musskopf, as a way to actively participate in the democratic process, overseeing public spending. When sharing the idea with friends, it didn't take long for the project be spread all over the country, with a team of 10 people and more than 600 volunteers willing to do it.
