Controversy Section[edit]
The price for the service of FiscalNote can exclude groups who cannot afford and leave them at a disadvantage. Additionally, the price of FiscalNote could potentially create inequity among lobbyists and assists those who can afford it to be better equipped to protect their clients and self interests. Also, part of lobbying to pass a bill is in the human interaction and effort that numbers cannot compute leaving FiscalNote's data "imperfect".

Civic Technology[edit]
FiscalNote is a tool of Civic Technology as it provides organizations or companies with real time governmental policies. This connects companies to the government allowing them to take notice of what policies may impact their business and allows companies to stay in compliance while pursuing future goals. In addition, FiscalNote could also help the government gain the public's trust by providing transparency in their actions and policies. FiscalNote could possibly provide insight into more streams of Civic Technology such as providing information to citizens about the different policies representatives are associated with and how that would impact their daily life by voting for them. Another use of FiscalNote is to utilize the extensive dataset they provide to conduct research about different administrations or ideologies in government.

Awards[edit]

Overview[edit]
FiscalNote seeks to modernize the outdated government relations system in an effort to communicate from companies to the government level using artificial intelligence. FiscalNote also uses software that attempts to predict the likelihood a bill will pass based on certain key phrases and historical precedent giving companies live insight on what is taking place at the government level. The data FiscalNote reveals for bills include the strengths and weaknesses of the bill compared to historical figures, a timeline of the committees it has passed, and the likelihood it will survive. FiscalNote to the present day has also expanded into the media space since the addition of CQ Roll Call and released ESG Solutions to cater to the environmental, social, and governance niche.

History[edit]
The highlights of adding CQ Roll Call in 2018 is in the fact that it gave FiscalNote an edge over rival Politico Pro through providing a stable financial flow with the consistent subscriber base and a competent data set. By adding CQ Roll Call, FiscalNote gains an entryway into the media world and an opportunity to cover what certain bills may mean to subscribers instead of having to interpret the raw data. FiscalNote ESG Solutions is unveiled in 2022 to assist clients in environmental, social, and governance goals, risks and regulations. Through the creation of ESG FiscalNote has evolved from being simply a data and media source after the addition of CQ Roll Call and has transformed into an AI system capable of interpreting raw data and relating it to the specific issues of customers.

Delete[edit]
"Corporate Culture", "Advisors and board", and "Events" sections as they are very irrelevant and read as if it is intended to attract employees.

"During the COVID-19 pandemic, FiscalNote laid off 6% of the company, with one source telling AdWeek that the layoffs included the entire team of investigative reporters, and all but one staff member from the print magazine team" - Irrelevant to the recognition and impact section.
