I think it's just a matter of time. When you have the ability to secure a commodity layer it makes economic sense to do that. Using the petrochemical value chain as a rough proxy: 1. Extract oil; 2. Refine oil into PET; 3. Make polyester polymer (PET chips); 4. Turn chips into fabric; 5. Cut and sew into a Nike top you wear at the gym - the foundation model companies are operating at value layer #3 right now. It's widely publicized that they are moving upstream to procure and manage their own chips and energy via a variety of convoluted financing mechanisms. And over time they will try to capture as much of the "UX layers #4 and #5" as they can.

IDEO.org's design kit has a lot of helpful "design research" tools to solicit person-to-person feedback. Perhaps helpful to people reading this https://www.designkit.org/methods/interview.html

Oops - I meant FiscalNote not Policy Genius. Sorry.

Well done on this! Two questions for you.

1) How much do you know about Policy Genius? Perhaps their trajectory could be instructive in what went well / wrong?

2) What do you think about adding a search for public equities? Type in AAPL, NVDA, etc.. and then UScodex delivers a code analysis that could surface relevant regulatory milestones / capture. If it works this could be a professional insights tool and/or "risk and compliance" software.

Good luck.
