Working systems for civic and public-interest organizations

Katahdin Logic builds data systems that translate government, utility, and regulatory information into something the people who use it can actually understand. Our work is designed for municipalities, nonprofits, civic organizations, and small mission-driven businesses across Maine and beyond.

Founded in Portland, Maine by Allison Dzubak, Ph.D., a former Bowdoin College faculty member with a doctorate in computational chemistry. Research-grade analytical rigor, modern engineering practice, and an honest read on what AI is and is not good for.

Services

We help civic organizations, nonprofits, municipalities, and mission-driven businesses turn government, utility, and regulatory information into clear, working systems.

What we specialize in

Civic and governmental data systems

Legislative tracking and transparency platforms. The same pattern of pulling from public data sources, applying AI under human oversight, and surfacing results in plain English generalizes to public meeting summarization, regulatory filing accessibility, and other civic information that would benefit from translation for non-expert audiences. Designed for civic organizations, journalism nonprofits, and municipalities.

Energy and utility data systems

Solar monitoring, rate plan optimization, and net metering credit tracking. Built around Maine's specific rate structures and Net Energy Billing program rules. The same approach extends to other energy program work where utility data, billing logic, and customer impact need to be modeled together. Designed for installers, energy nonprofits, and homeowners.

How we work

AI strategy and implementation

Honest guidance on when AI helps, when it doesn't, and what the operational tradeoffs are. Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or ready to build, we help identify the right use cases and move from idea to working system without overpromising what the technology can do.

Data pipelines and integrations

Automated ingestion, cleanup, and movement of data between systems. From messy spreadsheets to clean databases, from siloed tools to connected workflows. Built to run reliably without daily attention.

Custom dashboards and reporting

Real-time visualizations and automated reporting grounded in the metrics your team actually uses. Replaces manual exports with live, shareable interfaces built around how your organization works.

Full-stack development

End-to-end web applications when off-the-shelf tools don't fit. Clean code, comprehensive testing, and production deployment, from backend architecture through user-facing interfaces.

Working with Katahdin Logic

How we handle client data, security, and AI tooling.

Data and security

As a Maine-based consultancy, we maintain security practices appropriate to our scope of work, and we treat client data as confidential by default.

How specific data is handled, where it is stored, who has access, and what sensitivity, privacy, or compliance concerns apply are all discussed during scoping and reflected in how the work is structured. We will tell you honestly if we are not the right fit for a given compliance regime.

Our use of AI tools

Katahdin Logic uses AI tools to accelerate how quickly we write, debug, and document code. It does not replace the engineering judgment behind architecture decisions, security review, or production deployment.

Any questions, concerns, or constraints around the use of AI tooling for a specific problem space or data situation are aligned during scoping. The decision about what is and is not acceptable is the client's, and we work within those constraints.
