Proven Community Efforts and Wins You Can Celebrate

When Data Meets Community Power

Community impact stories

Our mission comes to life in the field, where food programs, coalitions, and public agencies put Spark and Dorothy to work on real questions that affect communities daily. Field work here captures challenges, measures progress, and demonstrates how programs respond to needs in tangible ways.

Every number on this page is one we can show our work on, and that data feeds our broader story of community impact stories, explaining how Spark and Dorothy translate insight into actions, illuminate outcomes, and strengthen accountability for stakeholders.

Data Love Co.’s Wins in Food Security

A 7-week food security report, reproduced in 20 minutes

County-level SNAP data live across nine states

A Food Security Index designed to scale statewide

145 Colorado producers in a searchable wholesale directory

Cited answers that say “I don’t have that” instead of guessing


Inside Dorothy’s Brain

 The NL2SQL win

Turning a plain-English question into correct SQL for large, messy data is one of the hardest problems in applied AI. Dorothy solves it with a staged knowledge model, a human in the loop at key moments, and code-based math that ensures reliability.

In our first paid pilot, she reproduced a seven-week report in twenty minutes, achieving 99% field-level accuracy on structured data across environments and validated results for stakeholders. The other 1% she flagged for a human, not guessing, to ensure correctness for stakeholders.

In the Works

Housing stability benchmarks and data context

Housing stability benchmarks align with Habitat for Humanity affiliates. Public data fusion integrates Census and USDA context in every report. This alignment helps track progress over time and across regions. Stakeholders rely on consistent metrics for informed decisions. Organizations use the results for funding and planning.

SOC 2 and the security work open government procurement processes. These measures support community impact stories to guide grants. Security controls protect data and ensure trust across partners. Procurement requires transparency and compliance across stages. Programs monitor risk and deliver measurable results.

Recent Highlights:

  • 7 weeks to 20 minutes to reproduce a household food security report in our first paid pilot
  • 99% field-level accuracy on the first pass, verified by a human analyst
  • 145 producers live in the Colorado Wholesale Producer Directory, cross-checked weekly against 3K+ USDA-audited suppliers
  • 10 core organizations on Spark, from local nonprofits to a state agency

DLC in the Field:

  • FEAST (Food Evaluation and Sourcing Tool) pairs automated meal crediting with a wholesale producer directory so Colorado food programs can score nutrition and source locally.
  • FEED NJ (Food Equity and Economic Development in New Jersey) is a state grant program. Data Love is its named data partner, and Dorothy is building the Food Security Index for designated food desert communities, built to scale statewide.
