"You can watch a 2-hour debate and never hear your question asked. That's the problem."
Parla fixes it.
"We tested Parla with a 20-minute session — no script, no prep. 600 verified residents showed up, asked real questions, and scored every answer. We got more honest feedback in one session than in a year of town halls."
