Help us build the government-affairs platform that earns trust before it asks for adoption.

We are trying to understand the real work: missed changes, hearing coverage, client-ready briefs, verification, alert fatigue, procurement, and what would make an AI-assisted legislative workflow trustworthy enough to use.

Your role How do you know us / StateGov? (optional)

Work context What kind of government-affairs work do you do? What states, clients, issues, committees, agencies, or bills do you cover? What is your role in the work day-to-day?

Current monitoring workflow How do you currently monitor legislative and agency activity? What is the weekly volume you have to keep up with? Tell us about the last miss, near miss, or scramble. What did that miss or scramble cost you? What tools, services, newsletters, trackers, spreadsheets, or people do you rely on now?

Trust and verification How do you currently verify that something important is accurate before acting? What would a cited summary need to show for you to trust it? What makes you skeptical about AI in this workflow? What would break trust immediately?

Hearings, alerts, and deliverables Walk through your current before/during/after hearing workflow. What do you owe clients, principals, members, or colleagues after a hearing or major action? Where should important alerts reach you? What kinds of changes should interrupt your day? What do you worry is relevant to your interests but hard to detect from bill titles or agendas? Who ultimately judges whether your intelligence work is good? Which deliverables would create the most value if they were reliable?

Adoption and organization fit What would have to be true before you used this in real work? Who on your team should see neutral summaries, alignment/posture, drafts, or client-ready briefs? If you opened a new account, what starter templates or “first five things to try” should already be there? How would a tool like this get approved or paid for? Where would the budget come from?

Price, value, and urgency What do you already spend on intelligence, monitoring, staff time, software, newsletters, or research help?

Easy yes price Serious decision Too expensive

What would make a 30-day beta worth continuing? What would make this a must-keep after 90 days? What event would make you actively look for a solution now?

Offer reaction

The working concept: StateGov is a cited, proactive legislative-intelligence coworker for state government-affairs professionals — watching bills, hearings, agencies, clients, and external sources, then producing alerts and human-reviewable deliverables.

Which part sounds most useful? Which part sounds least useful, unclear, or risky? What current workflow, tool, or staff burden could this replace or reduce?

Language and fit What phrase would make you think, “this is built for someone like me”? What phrase would make you roll your eyes or distrust the claim? What kind of organization or professional would get the most from this? Who should definitely not buy this? Should we follow up with beta access or a deeper walkthrough? Anything else we should understand? We can follow up with you about StateGov.

This is for product discovery. It helps us find the real adoption gates, not just collect compliments.
