Bienvenue à Parler — Canada’s digital gathering place to speak, listen, and find common ground.

Parler — Two Ways to Find the Truth

A two-faced platform that makes public reasoning visible — and fun. One face plays the news. The other shapes your city’s agenda. Both share an ethical data backbone.

Arcade

Truth as a game. Consensus as spectacle.

Every headline becomes a playable claim. Users vote agree / disagree / pass on short seed statements generated by AI. Behind the scenes, Polis maps votes into clusters of agreement.

Reality Quotient (RQ) blends verification heuristics: multi-source coverage, institutional & academic signals, civic/eyewitness consistency, temporal stability, and linguistic evidence over emotion.

What Users See

Glowing consensus bubbles & live opinion maps
Contrarian clusters & “needs more info” regions
Playlists of topics instead of doomscrolling

One Backbone: the Cloud Commons

Arcade reveals how opinions form. Civic shows how decisions are made. The Cloud Commons preserves the reasoning in between — creating a living dataset for communities, journalists, and researchers.

Ethical by Design

Anonymized vote data; no personal profiles
Method cards & provenance notes on each map
Open summaries with downloadable evidence trails

Interoperable

Standardized exports for civic & research partners
Pluggable verification heuristics (RQ)
API endpoints for embed & audit (coming)

For Funders & Partners

Parler converts fragmented discourse into structured, auditable public reasoning. Below is how we work with civic teams, newsrooms, universities, and community groups.

Value Proposition

Civic signal, not noise: Consensus maps replace unmoderated threads.
Accountable methods: Every claim carries a method card (sources, heuristics).
Low lift for staff: We parse agendas, generate seed statements, and ship weekly summaries.
Research-ready: Anonymized datasets, longitudinal comparisons, reproducible exports.

Pilot Scope (examples)

Neighborhood Council Weekly: 6–10 agenda items, 1–2 day public window, summary next day.
Topical Arcade Sprints: 3–5 headline clusters per week with RQ maps & briefings.
Partner Embeds: Lightweight widgets for municipal sites and local media.

FAQs

Is this just another survey?

No. Surveys ask you questions we wrote. Parler lets the crowd write and refine the statements, while Polis maps agreement and disagreement in real time.

Do you moderate speech?

We apply light safety rules (no doxxing, threats, targeted harassment). Within those bounds, diversity of viewpoint is a feature — maps show where people differ and why.

How do officials or journalists use Parler outputs?

They reference consensus maps and “What We Heard” summaries, embed widgets, or request anonymized exports for deeper analysis.
