A simple way to help users navigate and transfer their data between government sites, without requiring agency-to-agency data-sharing.
We're building the digital version of a user grabbing a document from one office, receiving good directions, and walking it down to the street to different office. Our approach makes it possible to get this done online in a few clicks without prior knowledge of where the docs or data are stored, and without incurring the privacy and security costs of transmitting data directly from one agency to another.
For users: We're trying to deliver an experience that feels like, "Do you need to get a doc from another agency? Just keep clicking "yes", and after 6-10 clicks it'll be done and you'll be back where you started and ready to move on."
For agencies: We aim to help agencies deliver this user experience, without needing a data-sharing agreement, and with minimal integration—all an agency has to do is add links and url params to existing web pages.

We're looking for pilot partners to help test this approach.
We’re hoping to find a situation where:
- Two systems need the same data but for compliance reasons are not connected.
- Data is transferred between the two systems via a manual process—potentially even by a user downloading a file from one system and then manually uploading it to another.
- The risk of failure is fairly low; this isn’t PII or mission-critical data transfer. Perhaps the users are federal employees rather than members of the public.
Can you think of a situation like this? Are you the system owner for a system that’s involved in a situation like this? If so, please contact the 10x team working on this idea: [email protected] and [email protected]
