Politics or economy desk · A reported piece

Story idea: What Georgia really offers a company that moves here, and who picks up the phone.

The angle: A company weighing a move asks what Georgia offers and who to call. AI can describe the incentives and often names nobody to call. A reported walk through the real process, office by office, is useful to every executive who asks, and to the state.

What the data says today: 9 of 28 answers to a company moving to Georgia name none of the organizations we track, the state's own agencies included. Across every question about city and state support, 16 of 80 name nobody.
