Real-time sentiment analysis, legislative bill tracking, constituent and narrative analytics, voter forecasting, and forensic accounting for campaigns, advocacy organizations, and public affairs firms.
Political is operationally different from the SMB work. The deliverables are different, the data sources are different, and the cycle compression is different. We run the political practice out of a separate team built around those differences, with its own infrastructure, its own analysts, and its own ethics framework around the work.
The practice covers 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.
Engagements are scoped at the campaign or organization level, on cycle. Pricing reflects the data infrastructure, the analyst hours, and the time-sensitivity of the work. We do not run political like an SMB engagement, because it is not one.
The political team operates 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.
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.
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.
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.
Campaign finance monitoring with anomaly detection on contribution patterns, vendor spending, and reporting discrepancies. Public-record cross-referencing against FEC and state filings.
The engagement is scoped at the campaign or organization level. Coverage area, deliverable cadence, integration with existing intelligence operations, and the ethics framework are agreed upfront.
Data pipelines configured for the coverage area. Dashboards built around the cycle calendar. Analyst team assigned. Initial baseline reports delivered inside the first two weeks.
Continuous intelligence delivery across the cycle. Real-time alerts on the dashboard, weekly executive summaries, ad-hoc deep dives on request. Analyst on-call coverage during peak weeks.
Post-cycle archive of the intelligence product, retention policies executed, contract closed. Optional standing retainer for advocacy and public affairs clients with year-round needs.
The practice serves campaigns, advocacy organizations, and public affairs firms across the spectrum. Each engagement is bounded by its own contract; no information moves across client lines.
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.
Client data is segmented per engagement with isolated access controls. Standard NDA, optional escrow arrangements, and the security review documentation is shared at scope.
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.
Yes. Coverage is configured at scope. Federal, state, and local cycles are all supported, with the data depth adjusted to the available source material.
