Priority-based budgeting from the executive's chair: what your budget looks like today, what it looks like organized around your community's priorities — and what even small reallocations could buy.
Enter your city, county, or state. We'll model the priorities a community like yours typically sets — then re-score every dollar on this page against them.
Simulated demonstration with illustrative data. The live Connect PBB Platform builds this view from your actual adopted budget, strategic plan, and governing-body priorities.
Tap a priority to remove or restore it — every view below re-scores instantly.

Departments and spending categories. Every dollar accounted for — and not one of them tells you whether it's advancing your priorities.
Every program becomes a peak. Height is spend. Color is alignment. The features an executive should notice — tall gray towers of weakly-aligned money, low green ground worth building up — are visible in seconds, not budget cycles.
Those pale towers don't have to stay pale. Make the shifts below ↓ and watch this landscape turn green.
PBB never starts with cuts — it starts with questions. Each weakly-aligned program below carries a PBB target: the efficiency the platform's insights say is achievable. Hit the targets, fund this community's priorities, and unlock the aligned budget.
Move a slider and the platform surfaces the specific savings and revenue levers behind each target.
The same dollars, side by side: the budget you inherited — and the budget aligned to your priorities, with the misaligned towers redirected and every remaining dollar pulling in the same direction.
Meet your PBB targets in the simulator above to unlock the aligned budget.
