  • The AI picks the right agency, with backup options ranked
  • Drafts cite real statute sections and CFR rules verbatim

Live FOIA Signals

The federal record, as it lands.

Every new enforcement action, warning letter, bid protest, and FOIA filing from federal sources. Each record is summarized when it lands, then connected to others that touch the same company, agency, or investigation. Filter to what you care about.

  • Cross source patterns refreshed daily
  • Interactive connection graph
  • Live feed grouped by day, with a sliding detail panel
  • Drill from a theme bubble to the underlying signals

Pattern Engine

The connections between records, made visible.

Every day, an AI analyst reads the last 60 days of signals across court opinions, agency enforcement, recalls, IG reports, and regulatory dockets, then surfaces the connections. Each cluster is a story you’d miss reading the feed one item at a time.

  • Regulatory cascades. One agency’s action triggers another’s.
  • Compounding exposure. Several agencies converging on a single company.
  • Recall to litigation. Product recalls appearing alongside court filings on the same firm.
  • Oversight to action. IG findings followed by real enforcement within a clear window.

How it works

From question to records, in three steps.

1

Search

Describe what you need in plain language. The AI identifies the right agency and pulls results from MuckRock, DocumentCloud, and the open web.

2

Draft

If the records don’t exist yet, the AI drafts the request using statute text, the agency’s CFR rules, and outcomes from similar past filings.

3

Track

Track the statutory deadline. When the agency replies, get an analysis of what they released and what they didn’t. Generate follow up or appeal letters from the request timeline.
