# Political Intelligence & Campaign Analytics.

> Political intelligence and campaign analytics for campaigns, advocacy organizations, and public affairs firms. Rhetor runs a separate, bipartisan team built around the campaign cycle. Sentiment analysis, legislative bill tracking, constituent and narrative analytics, voter forecasting, and forensic accounting on the campaign finance side.

## Built For The Campaign Cycle.

Rhetor's political practice is operationally different from our SMB work. The deliverables are different, the data sources are different, and the cycle compression is different. Rhetor runs it out of a separate team built around those differences, with its own infrastructure, its own analysts, and its own ethics framework.

Our coverage spans real-time sentiment analysis across digital and traditional media, legislative bill tracking with amendment trails and sponsor-network mapping, constituent and narrative analytics, voter forecasting models tuned to the district, and forensic accounting plus spend-anomaly detection on the campaign finance side.

We scope engagements at the campaign or organization level, on cycle. Pricing reflects the data infrastructure, the analyst hours, and the time-sensitivity. We don't run political work like an SMB engagement, because it is not one.

Our political team works under a separate engagement contract with bipartisan ethics provisions. The work is the intelligence product, not the campaign strategy. The strategy belongs to the candidate and their consultants. We deliver the data that makes the strategy possible.

## Inside Our Political Intelligence Stack.

- **Real-time sentiment across digital and traditional media.** Continuous monitoring of social platforms, broadcast transcripts, print coverage, and podcast audio. Sentiment scored by demographic segment, geography, and topic. Spike detection on emerging narratives.
- **Bill search, amendment tracking, and sponsor-network mapping.** Federal and state legislative tracking with amendment trails, sponsor and co-sponsor networks, committee vote forecasts, and floor schedule monitoring. Alerts on bill movement that affects your portfolio.
- **Voter forecasting and constituent narrative analytics.** District-level voter forecasting models tuned to recent cycles. Constituent communication analysis on town halls, casework, and inbound correspondence. Narrative tracking on what voters are actually saying.
- **Forensic accounting and spend anomaly detection.** Campaign finance monitoring with anomaly detection on contribution patterns, vendor spending, and reporting discrepancies. Public-record cross-referencing against FEC and state filings.

## How Our Political Engagements Run.

1. **Scope.** The engagement is scoped at the campaign or organization level. Coverage area, deliverable cadence, integration with your existing intelligence operations, and our ethics framework are agreed upfront.
2. **Stand Up.** Data pipelines configured for the coverage area. Dashboards built around the cycle calendar. Our analyst team assigned. Baseline reports delivered early in the engagement.
3. **Operate.** Continuous intelligence delivery across the cycle. Real-time alerts on your dashboard, weekly executive summaries, ad-hoc deep dives on request. Analyst on-call coverage during peak weeks.
4. **Close.** Post-cycle archive and retention handling per contract. Optional standing retainer for advocacy and public affairs clients with year-round needs.

## Common Questions.

### Is our political work bipartisan?

We serve campaigns, advocacy organizations, and public affairs firms across the spectrum. Each engagement is bounded by its own contract; no information moves across client lines.

### What data sources feed the dashboards?

Public-record legislative data, FEC and state filings, broadcast and print transcripts, social platforms, podcast audio, and licensed third-party datasets. Sources are documented per dashboard.

### How is data security handled?

Your data is segmented per engagement with isolated access controls. Standard NDA, optional escrow arrangements, and security review materials available at scope.

### How does pricing work?

Engagements are scoped and priced individually. Cycle-bound engagements have a defined start and end; standing retainers run year-round for advocacy and public affairs clients.

### Can our political team support state and local races?

Yes. Coverage is configured at scope. Federal, state, and local cycles are all supported, with the data depth adjusted to the available source material.
