How Hilltelligence Works

Every significant bill gets a plain-English summary — a headline, what the bill does, its key provisions, who it affects, the likely supporters and opponents, and a fiscal note. It is built from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service analysis and the full bill text, not a truncated excerpt.

Where to find it: Open any bill and read the Overview tab.

Pomeroy answers questions about a single bill, grounded strictly in that bill’s own text. Every answer cites the exact section and page so you can verify it yourself — useful for the questions a summary can’t anticipate.

Where to find it: On a bill’s Overview tab, click “Chat About This Bill With Pomeroy.”

A probability that each bill becomes law, from introduction through enrollment — calibrated against real outcomes from past Congresses rather than guesswork, and shown as a step-by-step “Path to Becoming Law.”

Where to find it: See the badge in a bill’s header and the full breakdown on its Overview tab.

For a bill still gathering support, the members most likely to sign on — ranked by legislative track record, shared cosponsorship, and issue-area affinity, with confident opponents filtered out so the list is an outreach shortlist, not noise.

Where to find it: Open a bill’s Overview or Cosponsors tab.

Each member’s most-aligned colleagues — overall and within any single issue area — plus a head-to-head comparison of any two members across every issue area, from shared cosponsorship and floor-vote agreement.

Where to find it: Open a member profile, or compare two members side by side.

Full caucus rosters and leadership boards, committee membership with party seniority, and — for any bill — how much of a caucus or committee has already cosponsored it.

Where to find it: Browse caucuses and committees, or open a bill’s Caucus Support and Committee Members tabs.

Lobbying disclosure filings searchable by firm across 137,000+ records — see who is lobbying on any bill, member, committee, or issue area.

Where to find it: Open the Lobbying tab on a bill, member, or committee page.

Save bills, members, and committees to personal lists, then export a bill list as a formatted Word briefing memo — each bill with its summary, key provisions, and stakeholder analysis, ready to share.

Where to find it: Use “Save to List” on any bill, member, or committee, then open the list from your dashboard and click “Export Memo.”

Turn on Watch for a bill list and get alerted — in the app and by email digest — when its bills gain cosponsors, change status, or move toward passage.

Where to find it: Open a bill list and toggle Watch; manage email digests from your dashboard.
