SOFT-LAUNCH PREVIEW 2026.05.11

Tracking the gap between Delaware legislative intent and on-the-ground reality.

A suite of dashboards measuring Delaware's signature programs against the promises that authorized them. Every published number traces to a public source via versioned methodology. The dashboards are password-gated during the soft-launch period.

Clean Slate Tracker

SB 111 / SB 112 · Automatic expungement
Delaware's 2021 Clean Slate Act promised automatic expungement for ~594,537 eligible cases. Twenty-one months into automated processing, about 3.2% have been cleared. The dashboard tracks throughput against the statutory promise.

DGI Food Access Tracker
Scaffold
SB 254 · Delaware Grocery Initiative
The Delaware Grocery Initiative has deployed ~$2.15M across five award cycles to fight food deserts. 125,370 Delawareans remain food insecure. The dashboard tests DSB's claim that "food access is not determined by zip code" — both USDA LILA and SB 254 statutory definitions ship as filterable layers.

About this site
First State Lens is a Delaware civic outcomes platform. Each dashboard tracks a specific legislative initiative against measurable real-world results, with every published number sealed to a methodology version and a public source. The analytical CMS — methodology source-of-truth, source registry, lineage graph, briefs — is maintained in a separate private workspace; published methodology is mirrored to a public Quartz site (methodology.firststatelens.com, forthcoming). Built by FirmSide AI · Civic Analytics Lab. The brand is deliberately decoupled from any single stakeholder.
