Complexity.
Four engineers built the infrastructure most campaign firms rent from a stack of outside vendors, and made all of it simple enough that the user never sees how hard it was.
coefficient.orgMost firms stitch together outside vendors.
This team built the whole stack in house.
More of it owned in house, so the team sees how the work is produced.
Intake, universe counts, lists and dashboards in one environment.
Scored audiences, live counts, message guidance and lists.
Carrier registration, numbers and opt-outs, built from the ground up.
Pages, trackers and client applications, generated in minutes.
2The hardest engineering is the part nobody sees.
A campaign operator gets three buttons. Underneath them, this team solved validation, compliance, cost, scale and failure, so the person sending the work never has to think about any of it.
3What the operator sees: three steps.
4When a send goes wrong, the system stops and asks a human.
On campaign deadlines, a bad send can't be undone. So co/nnect was built to catch certain problems itself rather than keep going.
co/nnect spots certain sending problems as the campaign runs.
It pauses the campaign automatically and alerts the team in Slack.
Nothing more goes out until an operator decides how to continue.
5Every message ever sent stays reachable, without paying to keep it all live.
Costs climb with every send, and the database gets heavier every cycle.
Historical message data stays accessible without sitting in expensive active storage. It's built for scale, lower cost and resilience as volume grows.
6One environment, from final questionnaire to client dashboard.
- Survey intake, universe counts, list workflows and dashboard production in one place.
- Universe counts up front, so the team knows the exact scope before a survey goes out.
- Surveys field the same day the questionnaire is final. Results in 48 hours.
7Researchers edit a finished dashboard by asking for the change.
An AI agent embedded in the engine takes plain-language requests to edit data and revise analysis. Editing is no longer manual, so results reach clients faster.
And with a recent engine update, several people can edit the same dashboard at once.
8The work campaigns send to a modeling firm, done in house.
- Client-defined universes with live counts.
- Message guidance for the exact audience selected.
- Contact lists generated from the same environment.
9An advocacy generator: from issue to message sent, built in minutes.
It creates pages, dashboards, live trackers and client-specific applications, with integrated data tools for awareness and voter ID.
10Control over the code is control over speed, cost and quality.
No waiting on a vendor's roadmap or another firm's queue.
No vendor markups or fees passed on to the client.
Fewer handoffs, fewer errors, and full visibility into how the work is produced.
11Four engineers. The scope of several vendors. None of the complexity reaches the user.
