PolicySpeak

Who it is for.

Three kinds of team work on PolicySpeak: public affairs inside a company, trade associations, and consultancies. Find yours below.

For the team that briefs the business on Brussels.

What moved on your files, who you need to see about it, and the briefing that goes up the line.

The board does not want to hear about a problem from someone else first.

What changed on your files

The amendments that touch you

Which amendments touch your file, who tabled them, and which article each one changes, without five documents open at once.

Two versions, one view

Compare two drafts of a text and see what moved between them, even when one is a scan.

Around the meeting, and up the line

  1. Before the meeting

    Know where they stand

    Walk into a meeting with an MEP or a Commission official knowing where they stand on your file.
  2. After the meeting

    Keep it on the record

    Log the contact, the meeting and the agreed next step against the file, on one record your team shares.
  3. Board week

    Take it up the line

    Turn the files you follow into one board-ready briefing in your company's branding. When the board asks what the team did about them, that comes out as a report too.

Before you ask

Where is our data held, and who in the company can open it?

Both answers are on our security page.

Is this not one more monitoring tool?

Our FAQ takes that one, along with how pricing works.

For the team between the policy and the members.

What your members think, the position you agree, the consultation answer, and the update you send them yourself.

Your members expect you to know before they ask.

From a consultation to one position

  1. The consultation opens

    See who has already filed

    Who Filed What is our free record of Commission consultations: who filed and what they argued, no account needed. Look up a member, or the competitor a member worries about, on its organization page.
  2. Members weigh in

    Gather views without logins

    Send members the draft, collect their views through a link that needs no login, and land on one common position.
  3. The response

    Answer from what you agreed

    Draft the consultation answer from the positions your association agreed, and see where they leave gaps you need to fill.

What your association keeps

Your agreed positions

What the association has agreed is kept on file, so a new draft starts from it rather than from a blank page.

Your own member update

A branded update for your members, compiled for you and reviewed by your team, then sent by you under your own name. How the member lane works.

Questions associations raise

Our members trust us with sensitive views. Where is that held?

Hosting, access and your exit are covered on the security page.

We already pay for a monitoring service. Why add this?

The questions page answers it, and explains the pricing model.

For the consultancy following files for several clients.

Every client's files in one place, the brief before every client call, and the monthly deliverable in your own letterhead.

Your clients pay for the advice, not for the hours spent reading.

From a moving file to the client's inbox

  1. A file moves

    Hear it before the client does

    Follow every file your clients care about on one tracker. When one of them moves, your team knows the same day and can pick up the phone first.
  2. The client call

    Brief before you dial

    Before a client call or MEP meeting, see what changed, who is driving the file, and where the people you are meeting stand.
  3. The monthly report

    Their report, your letterhead

    Pull a client's files into one PDF briefing that carries your consultancy's branding, ready to send.

Where the hours come back

A briefing for each account lead

Each consultant gets a morning briefing on the files they follow, so whoever runs a client reads that client's news first.

Questions answered with sources

Ask about a client's file in plain words and get an answer with its sources, to check before you pass it on.

Who else is on the file

See who filed on the same consultations as your client and what they argued, on our free public record.

A draft checked before the client reads it

Put a position paper through a review that points out the gaps, the weak arguments and the stale facts.

The background gathered first

For a client note, get the facts, the angles worth taking and the open questions laid out, then write it yourself.

Cover when someone is away

When you are away, a colleague takes over the file along with its deadline and your notes, and picks up where you left off.

The committee in one list

Get every member of a committee, with their accredited assistants, as a contact list for a client's outreach.

Two drafts, every change

Show a client exactly what moved between two versions of a text, scanned PDFs included.

What consultancies ask us

Can each client's work be kept apart?

Yes. Tell us how your firm splits its clients and teams before you start, and we set PolicySpeak up that way.

Client work is confidential. Who can open it?

Hosting, access and what happens when you leave are set out on the security page.

How does pricing work for a firm with several clients?

The pricing model is explained on the questions page.

Request access

Tell us which of these teams is yours and the files you work on. We will show you PolicySpeak on them.
