LocalQ Labs is an independent research analysis company. Our analysts are PhD sociologists who model the risk factors that transform mild opposition into costly project delays. We offer what we call community intelligence: insights, visualizations, and datasets tracking social and political trends shaping the infrastructural build-out supporting the technological leap of a generation.
