BRACStat is patterned after other data modes currently in use in urban areas but that are not used in environments lacking strong executive control. As such, BRACStat serves as an experiment in managing actions in intergovernmental settings in which all governments can affect the decisions made and actions taken. This essay describes the use of BRACStat and describes how it may be applied in managing in other intergovernmental settings
