OpenBrief is a New Zealand political-transparency platform that tracks MPs, donations, lobbying, and ministerial diaries alongside the media discourse, showing what's spiking, what's ignored, and how left, centre, and right frame the same story. Built by Auckland's Mnemosyne Ltd. (a Transparency International NZ member) from public records, it pairs "living dossiers" on every MP (donations, pecuniary interests, directorships, diaries) with a media scoreboard scoring newsrooms on coverage gaps, a lobbying earned-media tracker, an urgency-bill detector, and a documented methodology, corrections log, API, and MCP server.
