FiscalNote Prophecy
Applying real-time analytics to unlock
government data and make it
actionable
Who We Are
• The Idea: NYA
 8 analysts to manually find
state bills
 Must be easier way
• Seed Round Funding
 NEA, Mark Cuban, First Round
Capital
• Palo Alto  Washington, D.C.
What We Do:
Using the FiscalNote
Prophecy
platform, organizations
can
search, track, analyze, a
nd predict legislative
outcomes in all 50
states, in real time, with
over 90% accuracy.

FiscalNote subscribers
can use first-of-its-kind
data-driven predictive
analysis to proactively
engage on the issues that
matter most.
Why State Legislation
Tracking is Important
A major challenge for American businesses will be
determining which of the thousands of measures that are
introduced will actually impact their bottom line.

Topic clustering and advanced NLP allows our clients to
search, track, and receive alerts from bills in a specific
industry, keyword, or issue.
Why State Legislation
Prediction is Critical
FiscalNote provides the first quantitative tool to predict, in
real-time, the likelihood of a specific bill to pass the legislature
FiscalNote arms financial institutions with the up-to-the-minute
information and data they require to extract market-shaping
insights at the intersection of government and business and
produce valuable market insights through in-depth analysis
• Over 130,000 bills introduced in 2013
• Already over 5,000 bills introduced in 2014
How it Works:
Monitor- All bills related to a
specific industry
Track- Important bills and any
action taken on them important
to your business also receive
notification of changes on
important bills
Search- specific bills by number
and chamber

Analyze- similar bills across state
to understand how to use
resources and likelihood of
passage
How It Works:
Our analysis not only predicts the ultimate outcome of
a bill passing the legislator, but we aggregate
information around each legislators voting actions.
Use Cases
•

The state-by-state implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will be a major
topic of legislative activity in 2014. Since the ACA’s passage, state legislatures have
considered more than 2,000 bills a year relating to it.

•

In 2013, 38 states introduced legislation regarding foreclosures regulations, with
consequences for the mortgage credit market.

•

Square: Fined $507,000 in 2013 for not complying to legislation having to obtain a
transmitter license to operate in the state. FiscalNote provides keyword search for bills
introduced so your company can be more aware.

•

State-level financial services regulatory authority has increased significantly since DoddFrank, exemplified by New York State’s $340 million fine against Standard Chartered Bank
in 2012.

Editor's Notes

  1. With early notification of emerging legislation that could impact their business, organizations can have an impact on the legislatiove process well befre measures become law, and before realated rules are adoptedAnother benefit of legislative trackng and prediction which tends to be overlooked is the potenail for identifying new business opportunities. Legislative mandates can create demand for new products and even spur new industries.
