Political Intelligence, Reimagined
AI-powered living dossiers on public officials. Track sentiment, map influence, and uncover hidden signals to shape legislative outcomes.
What We Do
Replacing Guesswork with Intelligence
The Problem
The $4–7B state & local lobbying market relies on outdated tools — static databases, manual research, and institutional knowledge that walks out the door. Firms spend millions on data that's stale by the time it's read.
The Solution
Officialis creates AI-powered "living dossiers" on public officials that continuously update with sentiment analysis, influence mapping, and issue-level scoring — all backed by transparent, citable sources.
Key Capabilities
The Intelligence Stack
Every insight is structured, persistent, and fully explainable — built for professionals who need to trust their data.
Sentiment Ranking
AI-scored alignment of officials on specific issues, traceable to real evidence — votes, quotes, donations, and social posts.
Influence Graphs
Relationship maps connecting officials, donors, staff, and organizations to reveal hidden dynamics and power structures.
Issue-Level Scoring
The "credit score for politics" — filterable scores that surface trends and shifts over time across any legislative issue.
Full Explainability
Every insight backed by citable, transparent sources. No black boxes. Your team can verify every data point and share evidence confidently.
Market Opportunity
A Massive, Underserved Market
Incumbents like FiscalNote, Quorum, and BGov are static and document-driven — built for a pre-AI era of political research.
General-purpose LLMs lack the structured data, persistence, and explainability that professional government affairs teams require.
Officialis occupies the gap: AI-native, domain-specific, and built for accountability from day one.
