INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTABILITY INITIATIVE
Power needs
a paper trail.
Public institutions make decisions that shape our lives. Those decisions deserve a clear record—and questions that get answered.
How we approach the work ↗RECORDS. REASONING. RESPONSIBILITY.Independent by design.
01 / PURPOSE
Make the exercise
of power visible.
KneeCap is an initiative focused on government accountability. We use records and careful analysis to examine the distance between what institutions say and what they do.
The work starts with a question. It earns its conclusions through evidence.
02 / OUR APPROACH
Test the account.
Compare explanations with the evidence, including facts that point in another direction.
Make it clear.
Distinguish what is established, what is disputed, and what still needs an answer.
Better questions.
Stronger accountability.
