New York Benchmarking Project
Civic reform through benchmarking.
The New York Benchmarking Project is an open-source effort to compare governance and financial data across New York State’s 62 cities, with the goal of improving efficiency, transparency, and outcomes.
The project focuses on careful extraction of data from primary source documents (such as Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports) and the use of benchmarking to identify best practices and outliers.
Status: early-stage and exploratory.
