IRC impact explorer governed by the canonical 2026-09-15 source-of-truth workbook and external methods note. Our Reach shows FY25 reported service outcomes; Where Next shows where additional IRC funding could stretch furthest using modeled average IRC delivery cost at significant scale; What's Possible uses funding-first planning estimates of annual delivery at significant scale. Public provenance is deliberately concise, with exhaustive assumptions and release controls maintained in the canonical workbook.

Where can IRC have the greatest impact?

Get Control Tower at: https://github.com/SDB-Ryan/motherduck-control-tower.git

Control Tower is a self-updating map of a MotherDuck account: every dive, flight, table, and share, and how data flows between them, with live row counts and run health on every node. 

You never draw the graph — you catalog each object's lineage once, and a scheduled flight builds the picture. Stale tables and failed runs light up on the board; anything uncataloged lands on a warnings strip instead of going missing. 

Free and open source — hand the repo's INSTALL.md to your AI assistant and it installs it on your own account.

Control Tower - Observability for databases, flights and dives

Ryan Dolley

Google Analytics-style dashboard for Dive usage in your org, built entirely on MD_INFORMATION_SCHEMA.QUERY_HISTORY (user_agent dive IDs) + MD_LIST_DIVES(). GA4 Material visual language: white cards, scorecards with delta arrows, blue/gray palette, date range top-right. Snapshot with PoP deltas, org totals incl. endorsed dive count, trend, hour/weekday heatmap. Dives tab with sparklines, status pills, Δ columns, database breakdown, needs-attention (declining + unused + endorsed coverage). Audience with new vs returning, per-user Δ, surface split, creator leaderboard with endorsed counts. Performance with p95/avg exec, wait time, spill. Clickable drill-downs to dive/user details incl. error breakdown. CSV exports (disabled without access). Graceful no-permission handling: single gated probe, warning banner, empty states instead of errors. Requires Business plan + org admin.

TPC-H Query Reference

gwdean

Every U.S. Senator plotted by campaign money raised vs. bills sponsored in the 119th Congress — faces are the data points. Click one to see who funds them (PACs/individuals/small-dollar), which states the money comes from, uncapped Super PAC money for and against them, top organization donors, committee seats, and recent bills. Story-lead leaderboards surface the patterns; filter by party and state. Built on FEC (campaign finance, Schedule A by-state, Schedule E independent expenditures) + Congress.gov data.

Money In, Law Out

Are we pulling corporations, PACs, and top donors for each senator too?

Show the top 3–5 per-story leads, not just the #1 — surface the pattern, not a single outlier.

As a political journalist, what would you want to know from this data to discover potential stories — and how should we display it?

Get the out-of-state donation details from the FEC — which states each senator's money comes from.

Use MotherDuck's dark theme/styling for the whole Dive.

Use a photo of each member of Congress instead of a dot on the scatter.

I want to compete in the MotherDuck DiveMaxxing hackathon. Here's a concept doc — a "money to law" idea joining FEC campaign finance to Congress.gov legislative activity. Go for the Most Creative category.

When someone clicks a senator, pop up a modal with more data — what's engaging and impactful to include?

Scope it to the U.S. Senate first, with bills sponsored (119th Congress) as the Y axis.

Tarik Moody

Year-over-year and monthly trend views of Wisconsin single-family home median prices and estimated monthly payments (10% down, 30-yr fixed). Filterable by county. Includes P25–P75 IQR band, 30-yr rate trend, and top corporate buyers table. Data: RETR filings 2021–2026 + FRED MORTGAGE30US.

Cole Tenold

Interactive interpretability dashboard for the XGBoost Telco churn model: headline holdout metrics, an interactive decision-cutoff slider, live confusion matrix + precision/recall/F1, probability distribution, ROC & PR curves, feature importance (mean|SHAP| / gain / weight / cover), a SHAP beeswarm, and a calibration/reliability plot. Reads telco_churn.ml.* (latest model run).

Machine Learning Interpretability Dashboard

Use a MotherDuck flight to pull the Telco Customer Churn dataset from IBM's public GitHub mirror into MotherDuck. Design it to be an incremental load that is idempotent (no duplication even if I re-run it). Use data engineering best practices including logging, retries with exponential backoff, and others that you decide are helpful (do some research!). Then use XGBoost to predict churn or not within that Flight (research XGBoost best practices and data science best practices including how to use train/validate/holdout splits and prevent target leakage). Then, create a MotherDuck Dive to help me interpret the machine learning model (research machine learning interpretability best practices) including but not limited to the ROC curve, confusion matrix, shapley values, feature importance plots, etc. I also want to be able to tune the cutoff point and see the impact on the metrics. Be sure to store the predictions and other metrics about the quality of the model in a MotherDuck database. Make the dive beautiful. Make sure that there is no chart junk (and use some color when it is helpful).

In the dive, remove: “XGBoost on the IBM Telco dataset. Metrics on the holdout split. Model 74dd9f6e · trained 2026-06-18 13:16 UTC · XGBoost 2.1.4 · SHAP & importances computed on the holdout.”
Also remove: Decision cutoff Move the cutoff to trade recall against precision. Everything below this control updates live.
Also remove: all the metrics in the first row 
Then, swap the position of the ROC curve and the "Predicted probability by actual outcome" charts.
Then, remove the legend of the confusion matrix
Put the "Accuracy" metric to the left of the metrics instead of to the far right. It should be the first one.

Put the numeric SHAP features back to using the red to blue scale from before. Change the circles to have transparent fill (no fill), but have a colored outline instead. Make the outline partially transparent as well.

Instead of the categorical values being grey in the SHAP plot, make each category its own color. Do not use red or blue though, since that would be confusing.

  Remove this from the description: Color = feature value (low → high).

  Put a description under the confusion matrix header: "Adjust cutoff to balance False Positives and False Negatives"

  Align the bottom of the confusion matrix, ROC curve, and SHAP plot so that they look approximately the same height. Make the confusion matrix into a square with 4 equally sized boxes in it (height = width for the boxes).

Put the confusion matrix, ROC curve, and the SHAP summary charts in the first row of charts. Confusion matrix should get 25% of the width, ROC curve should get 25%, then the SHAP should get 50%.
