Introducing LegiTrack: The Future of Legislative Monitoring

A deep dive into our new legislative tracking platform and how it's revolutionizing policy monitoring

Today, we're excited to announce the launch of LegiTrack, our next-generation legislative monitoring platform. For too long you have been hampered to sub-par legislative monitoring services. The data you get from them is often minimal, only showing you in plain text what has happened. They will link to the government website. Often you are paying for a wrapper around a government website. If you are any of the following you will LOVE what we have built:

​ (1.) You pay $258 a month to be notified via text if something happens on a bill; ​ (2.) You want to be able to monitor based on sections of statute modified (for compliance monitoring purposes); ​ (3.) You want to monitor more than 20 active bills concurrently and generate reports on sets of bills; ​ (4.) You want to read bills and know the context in which they are written; ​ (5.) You want to know definitions without having to stop reading; and ​ (6.) You know your reader could be smarter.

The Evolution of Legislative Tracking

Traditional legislative tracking methods have long been plagued by slow idiomatic responses. You are often limited to tracking bill by bill, unable to do uniform edits to your tracking manifest.

Key Features

Real-time Updates

LegiTrack delivers updates within minutes through our purpose-built API service. Whether you need instant notifications or scheduled updates, our platform adapts to your workflow. The service intelligently handles content delivery, providing immediate access to frequently accessed documents while efficiently managing less common requests through smart lazy-loading.

Smart Analysis

Our AI-powered analysis engine...

Our Reader

We didn't look at other pdf viewers and document editors. People tend to look at what they know, and most legislative monitoring companies were created by journalists. We were inspired by another group of people who have to deal with massive distributed bases of code...programmers. We treat legislation like code, when you think of it, citations are links to statute, bills and amendments are git commits to statute proposing changes, and finally the language and formatting used that compile to the law. When you think of laws, statute and bills as a codebase you build an IDE, not another PDF viewer.

We were inspired by git, to map language and formatting rules to create diff views of statute modified by the code to show you in context what the amended code will look like as written, helping you get ahead of the curve.

We show definitions from the amended section as words in the viewer you can highlight and get the definition as written, no more scrolling back up or switching tabs. Further, we map every bit of text to the piece of code it modifies. This toggleable pannel scrolls with the bill.

When items are cited, we link to those.

Our reader does so much more. But it starts by uniformly translatting the text from the pdf file, word document, or HTML file to a proprietary XML markup language. We then use state specific rules to add context to the legislative documents. Over time we will extend functionality to more legislative documents like fiscal notes and vote sheets.

Why put so much attention into a reader?

Picture this hypothetical, we are close to the end of session at 11:23pm, the gavel comes down in recess moments after a new amendment to a bill is introduced. It is 348 pgs long. Your stakeholders have been carefully monitoring the language in this bill, and now, one amendment can change it all. Every second in this hour recess counts, you have to push your stakeholders, speak to representatives, and to agency heads on interpretation. You know that every second you spend reading the bill is another one you are spending reperesenting your clientle. We built our reader for you, a reader that will quickly interpret, collate and deeply integrate statute langauge into the bill language so that you can see exactly what is being changed. We have AI tools to help offload some of the cognitive burden in this most crucial hour, smart tools that just analyze static things like citations and formatting. This allows you to get deep into what matters quickly, allowing you to understand more, and understand it quicker, than your peers. Our goal is to provider our users with an asymetrical understanding of legislation and its context.
