Government Policy Insights

Common Problems

Policy analysts and lobby teams confront unique monitoring challenges:

• Fragmented Legislative Sources: Bills, amendments, and regulatory notices are scattered across thousands of government portals, often in non‑searchable PDFs.
• Language & Jurisdiction Barriers: Tracking policy shifts across borders requires monitoring multiple languages and legal terminologies.
• Early‑Stage Signal Loss: Committee hearings and agency consultations leak pivotal details long before headline coverage reaches mainstream outlets.
• Entity Ambiguity: Ministries, agencies, and acronyms (e.g., “DoE,” “Dept. of Energy,” “Energy Department”) can be referenced inconsistently, complicating automated aggregation.

Enfathom's Solution

Enfathom surfaces consolidated policy insights via a developer‑friendly REST API:

• Legislative Coverage Stream: Query /v1/articles with ?themes=REG_POLICY&date=2025-01-01 to pull hearings, draft bills, and regulatory updates in near real‑time.
• Sentiment & Policy Impact Scores: Each article includes article.tone.net plus optional policy impact classification, allowing instant separation of neutral procedural items from market‑moving reforms.
• Topic & Jurisdiction Filters: Combine /v1/articles/?themes (e.g., ?themes=CARBON_POLICY) with ?jurisdiction=EU to zero in on carbon legislation originating from European bodies.
