Read The DistrictMost regulatory data is locked in PDFs, buried in meeting minutes, or simply doesn't exist. Hamlet changes that. We score every city in our network on how they actually govern — measured from the public record, updated daily.
Not press releases. Not promises. What's happening in the room.
The Regulatory Velocity Index (RVI) ranks cities by how efficiently they move projects through the approval pipeline — time to resolution, procedural complexity, approval rates, and predictability. High-RVI cities get things done.
The Regulatory Friction Index (RFI) measures the opposite: how much resistance projects encounter. Deferral rates, opposition frequency, contentious debate. High-RFI cities signal risk — or opportunity, depending on your strategy.
Together, they tell you whether a city is open for business or stuck in committee.
“How fast does this city get things done?”
Measures how efficiently a city moves projects from proposal to approval — time to resolution, procedural complexity, approval rates, and predictability.
Fast approvals, predictable process
Slow pipeline, frequent delays
“How much pushback do projects face here?”
Measures the resistance projects encounter — opposition frequency, contentious debate, deferral rates, and how often proposals get stalled.
Frequent opposition, heated debate
Smooth sailing, community support
Every day, Hamlet analyzes thousands of public meetings to rank cities by how they actually perform on approvals, permitting, and project decisions — so you know where to focus and where to be cautious.
Each card below includes an AI-generated editorial blurb explaining why a city ranks where it does — the zoning battles, the fast-tracked developments, the patterns that don't show up in any other dataset.
