A Non-Partisan Civic Polling Platform, Idea to Market in 6 Months
A non-partisan civic platform that gives elected officials a direct, statistically meaningful read on constituent sentiment — built and launched on web and mobile in six months, under budget and on time.
What they were up against.
U.S. political discourse runs on imperfect connections between elected officials and the constituents they represent. Phone polling is expensive and increasingly unreliable. Social media skews loud and unrepresentative. Constituent calls reach a small fraction of an official's base — usually the most extreme. The result is heightened partisanship, weak signal on actual public opinion, and officials deprived of the data they need to represent the people who elected them. The founder of YourVote bet his business on a non-partisan platform that could give officials a direct, statistically meaningful signal — and engaged Frogslayer to build it.
- Phone polling: expensive and increasingly unreliable
- Social media: loud and unrepresentative
- Constituent calls reach only the most extreme voices
- Officials left without a meaningful read on real public opinion
What changed.
Idea to market in six months. The platform launched on web and mobile, giving elected officials accurate reads on constituent sentiment at a fraction of traditional phone-polling cost. The non-partisan architecture meant the same tool worked equally well for both sides of the aisle. The product has continued to evolve, with Frogslayer staying on as the engineering partner across additional development cycles. Delivered as a Value Sprint and run through AI Office.

Inside the build.
Frogslayer is a fantastic development partner. They have always been 100% upfront and honest about development risk and potentials. They finished our first build under budget and on time. While I spend little in regards of continued development, they are always available at the drop of a hat to remedy any problems that I experience. If grading them, they'd get a 99% in development and 100% in customer service.
