Where this fits in your week

Working a defined issue set means knowing the room and the record at the same time. The scans here keep the record current while you keep the room: the players and their leverage, their stated positions, the money behind the issue, the agency or committee with jurisdiction, and the instrument itself read whole.

Lead scan

Key Players

2 credits · in-depth · about 2–4 min

Who holds what leverage on an issue, drawn from documented positions rather than assumed alignment. The map you carry in your head, written down with sources.

Try it on: a subject you already hold an opinion about, so you can grade the result against what you know.

Stakeholder Positions

2 credits

Every stakeholder's stated position with the evidence for it, in a non-partisan register. The quote-ready page for the memo to a client.

Try it on Right to repair · Net neutrality · The corporate tax rate

Try it on The FTC · The Senate Commerce Committee · The FDA · The FERC

Policy / Regulation

2 credits

One instrument read whole: what it does, whom it binds, where it stands, who is contesting it. The bill or rule, on one page.

Try it on Section 230 · The Dodd-Frank Act · The Farm Bill · The Affordable Care Act
A working path

From a first run to a result you can hand over

The order matters. The first read gives you the structure; the next ones fill the parts that are hardest to source by hand.

01

Run Key Players on the issue you work most

Compare the leverage map with your own. Where it disagrees, open the source; that is where either the record or your memory is out of date.

2 credits
02

Run Follow the Money on the same issue

The disclosed money with who gains and who pays. The context page a client reads first.

2 credits
03

Run Policy and Regulation on the instrument in play

The bill or rule on one page: what it does, where it stands, who opposes it.

2 credits
04

Pin the issue to your Watchboard

A hearing, a markup or a new cosponsor becomes a watched signal, so the client hears it from you first.

Pinning is free; a check costs 2 credits when you ask for one.

What comes back

A result whose claims carry their grades

Sourced, not asserted

Every figure and quote links to where it came from. A claim the scan could not source is marked as such rather than dressed up.

Verified or grounded
Reported or attributed
Contested
Open question

Ready to hand over

Share the map as a page a client can open on a phone, or export it as a PDF for the strategy memo.

Run Key Players on something you already know

The fastest way to judge the result is to pick a subject you know cold and read it against what you know. If a colleague sent you here with an invitation, the credits land on your account when you sign up.
