  Ordinal is a gov-tech startup offering an AI research assistant that employs secure retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to surface instant, source-grounded answers from municipal documents, codes, and records. By cutting the time employees spend on information retrieval—estimated at nearly 40 % of a typical work week—the platform aims to boost efficiency, improve decision-making, and strengthen public service delivery. The product has already been deployed in several municipalities, including Sallisaw (OK), Decatur (IN), Lowell (AR), Benton County (AR), La Quinta (CA), Pea Ridge (AR), and Willard (MO), demonstrating early traction and user adoption. Ordinal emphasizes compliance and accuracy by citing verified sources in every response, lowering barriers to adoption in a sector often slow to embrace new technology. The founding team—Jacob Herrington, Nick Spinazze, and Jacob Eubanks—plans to use new capital to expand its customer base, enhance a public-facing chatbot, and add features that further streamline civic operations. Although detailed revenue figures were not disclosed, the company reports a rapidly growing sales pipeline and measurable scaling progress facilitated by investor support. Long-term, Ordinal aims to restore civic trust and shape more efficient, transparent local governments through AI-driven knowledge management.
