Civic infrastructure, built honest.

The status quo fails in three directions at once.

1. Direction 1 — residents

   Residents get conflicting answers from Google, stale answers from county PDFs, and confidently-wrong answers from ChatGPT — none of which respect their local jurisdiction.

2. Direction 2 — counties

   Counties burn staff time answering routine inquiries, fight contamination at the MRF tipping floor after the bag is out, and run outreach campaigns driven by anecdote instead of demand data.

3. Direction 3 — compliance

   Federal + state compliance (RCRA, EPR programs) is procedurally enforced through training and PDFs that go stale predictably as people rotate roles.

ClearPath addresses all three simultaneously. The resident gets a verified verdict. The county gets the operator portal + civic intelligence. The compliance posture is server-side, in the engine, not a procedural promise.

A multi-tenant SaaS platform built on five invariants.

• A resident-facing disposal guidance engine — cited, ZIP-aware, jurisdiction-respecting
• A county/city operator portal — rule authoring, civic intelligence, impact measurement
• A self-learning catalog — grows from real resident questions without per-rule engineering
• An audit posture — every verdict reproducible by ID, every AI call audited

• Not a marketing surface for haulers, donation orgs, or take-back programs
• Not a CRM for residents (we don't email your residents)
• Not a chatbot (AI is fallback infrastructure, not primary)
• Not an open marketplace where anyone can publish a rule
• Not a replacement for your county brand or resident relationship

TANN Innovations LLC — a Minnesota civic-tech company.

ClearPath is built by TANN Innovations LLC, a Minnesota-based civic-tech company. Founder: Bismellah Amiri. We started in Minneapolis with the Hennepin County catalog as the anchor pilot. Ramsey County is the second tenant. Anoka, Dakota, and Washington county ZIP coverage is seeded; rules are in the onboarding queue.

Becoming a true public good.

Our long-term plan is to convert ClearPath into a mission-aligned ownership structure — a Public Benefit Corporation or a non-profit foundation — with a board that includes counties, residents, environmental non-profits, and civic-tech advisors. Pricing would be capped to cover costs and reinvest in the mission, never to maximize returns to a private owner.

We believe this is the right structure for civic infrastructure. It protects the platform's commitments from the pressure that comes with acquisition or investor-driven growth.
