Existing software in the space focuses on budgeting, engineering, or construction management. None provide a structured, non-engineering framework for scoping projects and translating internal progress into stakeholder-ready narratives.  \nOur platform will provide a systematic, lifecycle-based approach to defining capital projects from inception through completion, paired with communication tools that turn internal status into clear, publicfacing updates. The product is multi-tenant, subscription based, and intended to serve many municipal clients at scale.  \n[zactax.com](zactax.com) pg 1  \n03  \nabout us  \nZacTax is a division of Eight20 Consulting LLC, a Texas-based firm specializing in revenue analysis, forecasting, and strategic services for municipalities across the United States.
