aid: department-of-better-technology name: Department of Better Technology description: >- The Department of Better Technology (DOBT), founded in 2013 by former Presidential Innovation Fellows and later acquired by CityBase, builds Screendoor — a form-building and submission- management platform used by government agencies and organizations such as ProPublica, the Los Angeles Times, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Ford Foundation to run paperless intake, evaluation, and approval workflows. The Screendoor REST API programmatically manages sites, projects, forms and form fields, workflow statuses, labels, responses (submissions), response labels, and reviewer assignments, using API-key authentication, offset pagination with RFC 5988 Link headers, and an explicit API version. accessModel: pricing: unknown onboarding: self-serve trial: false try_now: false public: false label: Self-serve signup confidence: medium source: -
