Update, September 7, 2026: Curia now has its government-account, department, role, and login foundation. The operational desks remain placeholders: service requests, permits, enforcement, records, payments, utility billing, the resident portal, and Clio are planned, not yet available. The article below describes that product direction.
Romulus runs the race. Numa runs the office. Neither was built for the town hall counter: a resident reporting a pothole, a contractor filing for a permit, a records request with a statutory deadline, a council agenda due before Thursday. That work belongs to the institution, which spans terms, officials, and parties, and answers to everyone.
That’s the product we’re building next. Its name is Curia.
Same word, opposite side of the counter
An officeholder’s casework is advocacy: the office pushing an agency on a resident’s behalf. A government’s service request is the agency doing the work itself. That distinction is legal, not cosmetic, so as with Numa, Curia gets its own name and its own records and permissions.
Curia is the software a municipality, county, or state agency runs to serve its public. Service requests and 311. Permits and licensing. Code enforcement. Public-records requests, with the response clock the law actually imposes. Meetings, agendas, and minutes. And, a first for the family, inbound money: fees, fines, and bills as first-class records rather than a spreadsheet next door.
Compliance is the product
Government software answers to more law than campaign and office software combined: records-retention schedules, open-meetings acts, accessibility statutes, payment-card rules. In Curia, a records-law deadline is a statutory clock, visibly different from an internal goal, and it stops when the law says it stops. Public and internal are unmistakable at a glance.
The third sibling
Curia keeps the ledger cream of Romulus and Numa with an accent of its own: verdigris, the patina on weathered civic bronze. Campaign owns warm gold, the office owns statute blue, and green was the open lane. There are no party colors anywhere in it. A government serves everyone.
The name follows Romulus and Numa home to Rome: the curia was the room where governing actually happened.
Residents get a portal to report, apply, request, and pay in one place, carrying the town’s own seal, never ours.
When
The design is locked, the plan is written, and we’re building through the fall. Rosie and Kennedy are getting a sibling, too.
