Institute for Public Mechanics
A research and practice lab investigating how public services actually work and how to make them work better.
IPM develops frameworks for understanding system maintenance, administrative debt, and delivery at the intersection of policy and implementation. We work with governments, technologists, and communities to shift from discretionary administration to reliable delivery.
Public Mechanics
For those who maintain, repair, and rethink how public systems actually work.

We're in early development. If you work on public systems, we'd like to hear from you.
