MOVEMENT OPPORTUNITY INDEX / AI EXPLORER
Ask the data.
Get an answer.
Query neighborhood scores, compare communities, understand constraint types, and get intervention recommendations in plain language. No dashboard required.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for people who need answers, not spreadsheets.
The MOI Explorer is designed for anyone working on movement equity in New York City who needs fast, specific answers from the data without opening a dashboard.
Policymakers and agency staff
Query scores, compare neighborhoods, and identify investment priorities before budget meetings or council hearings. Every answer is traceable to public data.
Program designers
Understand whether your neighborhood has a supply, delivery, or coverage constraint and what type of program would actually move the needle given that diagnosis.
Researchers and data scientists
Explore the Phase 1 dataset, understand the constraint typology, and identify where Phase 2 data validation would have the greatest impact on score accuracy.
Funders and partners
See exactly where the need is highest, what is driving each gap, and what the framework recommends before committing resources to a neighborhood or program.
Community organizations
Ask about your neighborhood in plain language. Get a score, a diagnosis, and a recommended intervention class without needing to read a methodology document.
Journalists and advocates
Query scores, compare neighborhoods, and identify investment priorities before budget meetings or council hearings. Every answer is traceable to public data.
