Public opinion is shaped in micro-moments across platforms most analysts overlook. We believe that truly representative democracy requires real-time, localized understanding—not just polls or punditry.

Founded in 2024 by a collective of researchers and engineers from the civic tech space, Quiet Metric operates as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit. We serve data-informed decision-makers across the country, regardless of affiliation.
