Computable law for all. The Axiom Foundation publishes open, machine-readable encodings of the world's rules — statutes and regulations as cited, time-aware, executable code. Starting with tax and benefit policy. axiom.org

Quote card on a dark background: “Unnecessary administrative burdens limit the reach of the safety net. Tools like Axiom are part of the solution…” Attributed to Donald Moynihan, Professor of Public Policy at the University of Michigan’s Ford School. The Axiom Foundation wordmark below.
“The rule of law begins with access to the law. That’s why societies publish it — proclaimed in the square, printed in statute books, posted on websites. Our era’s medium is software, and for six years at PolicyEngine I’ve published tax and benefit law as open code. The limit was human bandwidth, and AI just broke it. So we built the Axiom Foundation to publish the law as code anyone can read, run, and verify — from taxes and benefits to the rest of the world’s rules.” — Max Ghenis, CEO and Founder, the Axiom Foundation
“I’ve spent my career inside and alongside government closing the gap between the policy we pass and the services people actually receive — including building benefits access tools and some of the earliest rules as code work in the U.S. AI has changed what’s possible and rules as code can now happen at the scale of the law itself. That’s what the Axiom Foundation makes real — an open digital layer between policy and delivery, so no one is guessing at what the law says, and government, builders, and AI models all work from the same playbook.” — Ariel Kennan, President, the Axiom Foundation
