Nishi Compare -- Frontier Radar: Civic Legal Intelligence

Where the 2025/26 research frontier is moving, and where Nishi should test, deepen, or research next.

How this works. The nishi researcher banked the current (2024-2026) frontier for this domain over sovereign TLS (keyless OpenAlex/arXiv). For each capability axis this radar measures frontier momentum = how often the frontier corpus mentions it, times our organ presence (probed on disk). Absent + hot = a research opportunity / where to test. Corpus measured: 3791766 bytes. Generated by nx_swcompare_gapmap over a data-only domain spec (civic.q + civic.axes) — zero domain-specific code.

Top research opportunities (the 2025/26 frontier is active here and Nishi has no organ yet):

Legislative bill tracking (50 states + Congress) — frontier momentum 240
Intelligent grounded aggregation (cite-or-abstain) — frontier momentum 220
Integrity red-flag signal (corruption-to-avoid, evidence-linked) — frontier momentum 165
Real-estate incentive/penalty signal (OZ / TIF vs liens) — frontier momentum 145
Semantic search over the civic corpus — frontier momentum 84
Embeddable zero-JS civic widgets — frontier momentum 72
Federal court docket ingestion (RECAP / PACER, opened 2026) — frontier momentum 67
Regulatory / administrative rule tracking — frontier momentum 56
Government spending / procurement / debarment — frontier momentum 17
Municipal code + ordinance change-diff — frontier momentum 11
Campaign finance / money-in-politics — frontier momentum 4
Class-action / mass-tort tracking — frontier momentum 3
State + local court coverage (lowest to highest) — frontier momentum 3
Judicial financial-disclosure ingest — frontier momentum 1

frontier momentum is a mechanical keyword count over real 2024-2026 works; our presence is probed on disk. A discovery signal, not a ranking of importance. Zero JS, zero trackers.
