About

An independent data and AI company.

Akashic Intelligence brings research and engineering into one practice. The person who works through your question is the person who builds the answer.

Kenton Tilford, Founder

I learned politics at the door, first as a field organizer and later as a regional field director. On my own, I launched Run the Rock, a draft super PAC that caught a brief flurry of media attention. All of it taught the same lesson: people decide for reasons the topline never shows, and who shows up, who stays home, and what a place remembers matter as much as who wins.

The data rarely kept up with the doors, so I taught myself to build it. That work became Akashic: a record of American elections reaching back to 1788, with recent elections rebuilt down to boundaries you draw yourself.

It's also how I work with every client. I start where you are, learn how the work actually happens, and build the system that fits. The person who scopes your project is the person who builds it.

How we work.

Accuracy you can trace.

Every figure carries its year and its source. If we can't source it, we don't publish it.

Method in the open.

We show how a result was produced, so you can check it, question it, and build on it.

Say what's plain.

Thinking differently often means looking straight at the data and saying what it plainly shows, when no one else will.

Nonpartisan by design

Akashic Intelligence is nonpartisan. We work with anyone who shares our values. In Akashic, both parties appear in one register, with the same treatment and the same vocabulary.

Why Akashic From the Sanskrit ākāśa

Named for a record of everything.

The Akashic Records describe a complete ledger of everything that has ever happened: every event, every word, every choice. In some tellings, part of it lies in a hall beneath the sands at Giza.

The line between science and what used to be called magic is thinner than it looks. For most of history, astronomy and astrology were one discipline, and chemistry grew out of alchemy. Kepler cast horoscopes; Newton filled notebooks with alchemy. Both began with the same impulse we work from: find the pattern in the record, then read it plainly.

We make no claim to a cosmic ledger. We build the closest thing the evidence allows: records that are complete where the sources are complete, honest where they are not, and readable by anyone who needs them. It's why an election atlas and an AI astrologer belong to the same company.
