The intelligence layer above your CRM
Legislative View traces the chain from IRS Form 990 grants to state-committee bill positions to cross-state copycat legislation, and links every claim to a primary source.
Public records only. Every figure traces to the document it came from.
Built entirely on public records
How it works
Summarizing bill text is table stakes now. The valuable work is connecting a bill to the organizations testifying on it, those organizations to the funders behind them, and that bill to its copies in other states. We make those connections continuously, each one provable from a primary document.
Every IRS Form 990 Schedule I line item (grantor, recipient, amount) joined through our organization registry to positions on the bills you watch. No inference between the steps.
Coalition maps rank organizations by sustained engagement across every in-scope bill, so single-shot testifiers don't crowd out the operators with durable interest.
Sentence-transformer scoring across all 50 states surfaces boilerplate the same week it spreads, with a cross-state filter so in-state sibling bills don't create noise.
The deliverable
No black-box relevance score. Each claim carries a numbered citation to the primary document behind it: the IRS filing, the committee record, the enrolled bill. Audit any line.
Consumer Federation of America testified in support of CA AB 10181, the year after receiving a $10,000 grant from Texas Appleseed2.
The bill carries 441 documented positions on file: 185 in support, 256 opposed3.
Substantially identical language later appeared in a Wisconsin bill, an 81% text match4.
Sourced, not summarized
A generic AI tracker hands you a confident answer and a "97% relevance" badge you can't inspect. We hand you the same answer with the primary source under every clause.
A generic AI tracker
"Who's behind CA AB 1018, and is it spreading?"
AB 1018 regulates automated decision systems and appears connected to advocacy groups and to similar bills in other states.

"Who's behind CA AB 1018, and is it spreading?"
Consumer Federation of America testified for it, funded $10,000 by Texas Appleseed the prior year.
441 documented positions on file: 185 support, 256 oppose.
81% text match to a Wisconsin bill: model language, two states.
Every cell in the brief works this way. Pick any number and we'll send the SQL.
Amber = passages that match, line for line, across state lines.
Cross-state copycats
When boilerplate that lost in one state resurfaces in another, the lead time to respond is everything. We score every bill against all 50 states and surface the match the week it spreads. No competitor tracks this.
How our data works
Every source below is an official public record. We do the joining; the documents do the proving. If a claim can't be sourced, it renders unverified, never as fact.
Schedule I & PF grant line items (grantor, recipient, amount, year) parsed from filing images.
Bill text, sponsors, amendment history and committee position records across all 50 states.
Campaign-finance and lobbying disclosure records, linked into the same organization registry.
The chain rebuilds as new filings, rosters and committee records publish, not a one-time snapshot.
Built for whom
Quorum, Phone2Action, and FiscalNote serve in-house GR teams running outreach. We serve the researchers and analysts a step removed, whose job is to understand the landscape before anyone in it gets contacted.
Investigative journalists
A footnoted paper trail from grant to recipient to bill testimony, with the IRS 990 filing-image URL on every dollar. A CRM's outbox doesn't help.
Hedge-fund policy analysts
When model legislation from one state appears in three more, the affected sector reprices a week later. Template detection across 50 states is the alpha. No CRM ships this.
Foundation program staff
See the full coalition map before you fund an advocacy org: who else is in the fight, on which side, with what bill record. A contact directory is the wrong tool.
State AGs & policy staff
When boilerplate that lost in California surfaces in your state months later, the lead time to draft a counterproposal matters. Cross-state scoring is built for exactly this.
