The ombudsman, as it stands, is a shark without teeth. It cannot even smell a scandal if it was bleeding before their eyes — can’t sense, can’t bite, can’t act, can’t fix. It’s a watchdog with no jaws. So let’s give it an upgrade or even better give the government such an upgrade that Ombudsman loses the necessity for their entire existence.

This isn’t some grand ideological revolution. It’s just a silly idea for a public ticket system. Silly, but powerful.

Imagine a civic ticket system — not buried in obscure forms, not locked in back-office email chains. Just like an internal help-desk, but for governance. Public, structured, traceable. And smart.

This is what it looks like.

Core Idea
Citizens should be able to report issues publicly — not buried in anonymous inboxes, not hidden behind “ongoing investigation” seals. People already talk about public issues. If people can talk about public issues with their friends, why can’t they track them together too?

A government ticket system could work just like internal systems in IT or customer service — but with a civic twist.

This is not a place for endless debate. It’s a structure to frame problem → proposal → response, cleanly and traceable.

This system proposes a transparent, iterative problem-solving interface where AI is used not to obscure, but to clarify.

The System: Public, AI-Structured, and Transparent

The system is made up of 4 stages — and yes, it uses AI — but only as a tool to help people sharpen what they’re already saying.

Every issue goes through this cycle:

1. Problem Description
a) Citizens submit an issue. b) The AI cleans up the language, consolidates overlapping inputs, and upgrades the coherence of the report. c) A public change-log shows the input that evolved the description — all steps visible, all input attributable.

2. Proposed Solution
a) Based on the refined problem description, the AI drafts a solution or possible action path. b) This is visible to the public as a formal response — no magic, just structured reasoning. c) This is not a decision. It’s a draft — structured logic, not authority. Only advice.

3. Critique Layer
a) Citizens respond to the proposed solution — a structured challenge to the proposal.. b) Their remarks are also structured by AI — not censored, but upgraded for clarity and grouped by theme or angle. c) Again, change-logs and input trails are visible. No anonymous edits. No hidden manipulations. d) in a sense this is the same as step 1 (problem description)

4. Upgraded Solution
a) The AI integrates valid critiques and proposes a refined version of the solution. b) This is the “feedback-reinforced” stage, where the system attempts synthesis, not endless argument loops.

All stages remain visible — including abandoned tickets, failed resolutions, and ongoing ones. This creates a living public record of issues and proposed governance responses.

This is the synthesis. 1 = 2 + 3 = 4.

Why This Matters

• It forces clarity and traceability. No more vague complaints floating in chaos.
• It turns public input into a collaborative upgrade process.
• It shows which tickets are being handled, stalled, ignored — in plain sight.
• It makes every AI edit accountable, not mysterious.
• It doesn’t replace the ombudsman — it arms them.

Business Model? Sure — But Keep It Public

Yes, this is a product. But no, it shouldn’t be commercialized. This is civic infrastructure. It belongs to the commons.

It could be sold to municipalities, NGOs, or transparency coalitions — but that defeats the purpose.

Build it, release it, and let it run at zero cost. The public has already paid for enough systems that don’t work. This one should.

The value lies not in monetization — but in legitimacy.

Expanded Use: From Complaint Board to Administrative Operating System

What starts as a feedback tool can evolve into a complete civic engine. The system can scale:

1. Reported Issue
2. Processed Issue (by a public servant or automated filter)
   • AI-generated remark on process adequacy (4-stages again)
3. Re-open option if resolution was insufficient (4-stages again)
4. Cross-department visibility and workflow mapping
   • The ticket can go through different departments and the work of each department remains visible.

Each issue flows like a case file, but it’s public-facing and structurally transparent. Departments can adopt the system internally. Citizens and officials see the same state of the case. Updates are traceable.

With enough refinement, this system could even approach pre-judicial arbitration or replace lower-level administrative courts — especially for predictable, repeatable types of disputes (benefits, housing, permit denials, etc.).

At some point a judge and lawyer can then bend over the case after it went through these 3 steps.

Design Philosophy

• Public by default.
• AI-enhanced, not AI-obscured.
• Built around iteration, not resolution-hiding.
• Input is traceable. Reasoning is legible. Logic is public.
• Not built to silence citizens with forms — but to cohere chaos into clarity.

Potential Impact:

If deployed at scale, this would:

• Reduce performative complaint culture (“I ranted online!”) in favor of traceable input.
• Provide oversight journalists and watchdogs with live case data.
• Offer civil servants a way to separate noise from signal.
• Create longitudinal accountability: we’d know what failed, what improved, and why.
• We can track government efficiency through details such as backlog and amount of re-opened cases

Final Thought

Let’s stop treating public concern like noise.

Let’s give it a ticket.

Let’s give the ombudsman jaws.

Give people a way to speak clearly. Let the problems stay visible. Let the fixes be criticized. Let the system evolve in full view.

Democracy doesn’t die in darkness — it suffocates in forms. We’ve normalized arbitrary bureaucracy and opaque complaint systems. But the technology to upgrade them exists. All we’re missing is the will — and the will can be crowd-sourced.

Nederland gaat in tegenstelling tot haar buurlanden Janssen gevaccineerden geen 2e prik aanbieden op korte termijn. Volgens omliggende landen en ook de VS zijn mensen na 1 prik Janssen niet goed beschermd en neemt de bescherming na 5 maanden ook nog eens flink af.

Beste lezer,

Aanstaande zaterdagochtend, 6 november, 10.00 uur, bieden we namens BOOMM een boompje (Sporkehout) aan burgemeester Gradisen aan om onze zorgen over de mogelijke aanleg van een nieuwe weg tussen het spoorbruggetje Molenhoek en Bovensteweg / Veldweg kenbaar te maken. Deze overhandiging vindt plaats bij de Oversteekplaats snelfietsroute/Veldweg.

Lieve mensen, u staat niet alleen. Veel mensen zien geen heil meer in een petitie maar wij doen iets!!!! 74 zoekers op gebundelde kracht.

Oostzaan - De stichting Hart voor het Twiske zet haar strijd voor het behoud van de rust in het Twiske onverminderd voort. Want ondanks de steun van zesduizend burgers en van de meerderheid van de Oostzaanse gemeenteraad om het Natura 2000 gebied te vrijwaren van festivals en overnachtingen is de zaak nog niet beklonken. Secretaris José Berkhof: "op 31 augustus is de nieuwe Omgevingsvisie 2.0 aangenomen door CDA, D'66 en GroenLinks. Maar de VVD en PvdA traineren de wensen van burgers en politiek met alle mogelijke middelen. Wordt de democratie geschaad? Wij roepen iedereen op om maandagavond 8 november om kwart over zeven te protesteren voor het gemeentehuis van Oostzaan." Oostzaan, Twiske .

Waalwijk. De vvd wil weten wat het college samen met politie en justitie gaat doen aan de vuurwerkoverlast

Beste petitie ondertekenaars,

het is natuurlijk alweer even geleden, maar er is in die tijd niet stilgezeten. Daarom kunnen we als omwonenden van de Dijkshoornseweg en initiatiefnemers van de petitie nu vermelden dat de petitie zin heeft gehad.

Meer dan een jaar geleden ondertekenden meer dan 200 omwonenden van de Dijkshoornseweg deze petitie.

Het begin is er! Na 4 dagen zitten we nu op bijna 350 ondertekeningen! Ons eerste doel is 1000 ondertekeningen, want we denken dat we met zulke aantallen misschien wel wat los kunnen maken in de politiek, daarom willen we iedereen ook vragen om dit te delen via de bekende social media kanalen met bekenden, vrienden, familie en partners. Iedere individu moet tekenen alleen dan maken we een kans.

Vergeet ook niet om onze socials in de gaten te houden: https://twitter.com/marktbuurt https://www.facebook.com/MarktbuurtVlaardingen/ www.marktbuurt.nl

Bedankt aan iedereen die tot nu toe heeft gestemd en blijf ons steunen via de bekende kanalen om zo te vechten voor onze TRADITIE en onze IDENTITEIT!.

Vanavond wordt deze petitie aangekondigd bij Family7 door Jan Kloosterman!.
