Welcome to Bangladesh Policy Lab.

A new era of think tank, based on AI, powered and augmented by abundant intelligence.

The Government Twin is our first work.

Ask the twin

Start with a question.

The scale

What the twin is built from, counted now

Each figure is counted from the records as this page opens.

The people

174,619,056 dots

One for each person the population model places on this land: brighter where the model places more people, darker where it renders fewer. The state is theirs. What follows is that state as the twin holds it: its bodies and their records, the country layer by layer, and where the record ends.

A dot is a density estimate drawn inside a 100 m cell. It is not a person's location.

    What the recorded e-GP awards show so far

    Only awards published on e-GP and harvested: e-GP contract award notices (eprocure.gov.bd), 26 December 2011 to 22 September 2026. Procurement outside e-GP is not here.
