Turn Plans Into
Progress

For general plans, community plans, hazard mitigation plans, water plans, transit-oriented development plans, every project reviewed against them

An adopted plan commits a government to dozens, often hundreds, of actions, and the law often asks for a status report on them. KPS loads the plan, tracks each action from your own records, and drafts the status report your charter or statute asks for, each time it is due.

Name one adopted plan. Within 24 hours we return its commitments in one list, each with what the public record says about it.

Why it matters

The plan gets adopted. Then someone has to say where it stands.With KPS, the answer is already written.

Planning shapes the roads we drive on, the homes we live in and the water we drink. In Hawaiʻi, the commitments behind them are spread across 104 adopted plans in force, many of them hundreds of pages long.

Ask a plain public question, like what has guided flood mitigation on this coast for the last ten years, and the answer starts with Ctrl+F across several plans. Commitments get lost in the pages until a report comes due or a storm hits. By then it is too late to fix them.

  • Today: The commitments are buried in a plan of a hundred pages or more.

    With KPS: Every action in one list, in the plan’s own words, with the lead it names.

  • Today: Each department tracks its share in its own files.

    With KPS: One status per action, from your own records, with who set it and when.

  • Today: The status report gets pieced together by hand when it comes due.

    With KPS: The report drafted from that record, each time it is due.

  • Today: What slipped shows up in the report, after the fact.

    With KPS: What is slipping shows up while there is still time to act on it.

How it works

We do the work. You check it.

  1. 1

    We load your plan

    Start from the list your plan already tells you to track. We load every action in the plan’s own words, with the lead it names, and you correct anything.

  2. 2

    Status from the record

    A status appears only where one was published or your team set it, so the page never says more than the record does. A status you change in KPS is recorded with who changed it, when, and the note they wrote.

  3. 3

    The report, when it is due

    We draft the status report your charter or statute asks for from that record, each time it is due. Updates can come in by email or a single link.
