Chart the Common Wealth

​🗺️ Massachusetts's AI map is live. But it is just the beginning!

​The Massachusetts AI Atlas (https://the-open-accelerator.com/ecosystem/) is TOA's open, human-verified map of Massachusetts' AI ecosystem. It covers 171 organizations across four views, with an open dataset and real founders using it. It's also measurably unfinished.

​On Saturday, October 31, we're handing you the whole thing for a day. Come chart the rest. 🧭

​🚀 Your code ships, not just your demo
The Atlas is a production system, and merging is publishing. Every team whose work clears review is named as a contributor in the repo and on the live site, whether or not it wins. A fourth-place script that works, ships exactly like a first-place one.

​🛤️ 2 tracks will be judged. Pick your lane
🔧 Track A · The Survey: Backend and data work, including pipelines, verification at scale, geocoding, and relationship extraction. Your goal is to enable the Atlas to scale and endure with high integrity.

​🎨 Track B · The Passage: UX and interaction design. Help users engage easily, with clarity and know the confidence of the information they are getting. No coding required. A Google Sheet, a phone-width page, or a Chat card is judged exactly like a React app.
