ARENA CONGRESS · FOR MEMBER OFFICES OF CONGRESS

LIVE

An intelligence layer for the modern congressional office.

Built inside working House offices, by the people who run them. Arena Congress drafts in the Member's voice, briefs every meeting, scores every relationship and counts the votes, on top of the systems you already use.

You live this

Small staff. Infinite surface area.

Pain 1
The office runs across a dozen tabs, inboxes, and spreadsheets — and a small staff is drowning in the volume.
Pain 2
Meeting prep is manual. The Member walks in under-briefed, or staff burn hours assembling backgrounds.
Pain 3
The whip count lives in a spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet went stale on Tuesday.
Pain 4
Institutional memory — the relationships, the favor balances, the history with every principal — walks out the door with every staff departure.

Drafting

Drafts in the Member's documented voice.

Drop in a release, a memo or a PDF. Arena Intelligence returns finished posts, statements and remarks in the Member's voice, grounded in your approved positions, and flags any line that conflicts with them.

Drop in a release, a memo or a PDF and Arena Intelligence returns finished posts, statements, op-eds and remarks in the Member's documented voice. Every draft is grounded in your office's approved positions and flagged on any line that conflicts with them. When a fact is missing it leaves a placeholder to verify instead of inventing one, and a human approval chain sits on everything it produces.

Briefings

Every meeting, briefed before you walk in.

Background, your office's history with them, the likely asks and the talking points, researched live and ready the first time you open the meeting.

The first time a briefing opens, Arena Intelligence researches the principal on the live web: background, the organization, the district connection, your office's own history with them, the likely asks and the sensitivities. It even sources the principal's photo. Staff open a finished worksheet instead of building one the night before.

Media

Every clip, read and structured.

Arena reads your press alerts, structures every clip — outlet, reach, sentiment, estimated value — and tracks how coverage moves over time, by issue and by sentiment.

Relationships

Relationships that score themselves.

Every meeting, letter, cosponsorship and vote rolls into tiers and favor balances. Nobody types it in, and a nightly audit checks the math.

Every meeting, letter, cosponsorship and vote scores automatically into relationship tiers and favor balances, with no CRM to maintain by hand. The scores are deterministic math: Arena Intelligence never sets a number. At night an audit reads the raw record the way a chief of staff would and flags the problems the math can't see.

Whip count

A whip count with honesty rules.

A vote-lean projection for every House member, built on Library of Congress cosponsorship and recorded votes, and always labeled as a projection, never passed off as a count.

Vote-lean forecasts for every current House member, computed from roughly 27,000 cosponsorship records from the Library of Congress, plus party signal and recorded vote history. The honesty rules are structural: the engine only predicts soft states, confirmed intent and actual cosponsorships are facts it never overrides, and every forecast carries its confidence and plain-language drivers that a staffer can overrule in one click.

The record

Your legislative record, live.

Bills, cosponsors, and committee rosters sync live from the Library of Congress. Amendments, project funding, and vote recommendations are captured by Arena Intelligence from your own whip updates, markup agendas, and floor notices — and top-line casework and budget numbers roll up from the systems you already run.

Forecasts and briefings, made honestly.

Deeper capabilities, straight from the running product — the parts you only see once you're inside.

A whip engine with honesty rules
Vote-lean forecasts for every current House member, computed from roughly 27,000 cosponsorship records from the Library of Congress — cosponsorship affinity, party signal, and recorded vote history. The honesty rules are structural: the engine only predicts soft states, confirmed intent and actual cosponsorships are facts it never overrides, and every forecast carries its confidence and plain-language drivers a staffer can overrule in one click.
Briefings researched live, not templated
The first time a meeting briefing opens, Arena Intelligence researches the principal on the live web — background, the organization, the district connection, your office's own history, anticipated asks, sensitivities — grounded in what the research actually returns. It even sources the principal's photo.

Audited at night, fed by a drop zone.

A nightly audit of the relationship graph. Drop-zone intelligence across the whole office.

A nightly audit of the relationship graph
Relationship scores are deterministic math — Arena Intelligence never sets a number. Its job comes at night: an audit that reads the raw record the way a chief of staff would and flags the problems the math can't see.
Drop-zone intelligence across the whole office
Letters, hearing packets, casework summaries, budget paperwork, floor vote recommendations, amendment rosters, question sheets, meeting documents — nearly every workflow has an intake parser behind a drop zone. Every parse lands in a confirm-before-commit review card, and every failure degrades gracefully to manual entry.

A digest at five, and a real record from day one.

The morning digest, national to district. Zero fake data, from day one.

The morning digest, national to district
At 5 a.m. Eastern, Arena Intelligence runs real web searches at national, state, and district-local scope — derived from your district, not a generic feed — and delivers both an in-app news feed and a print-ready PDF digest.
Zero fake data, from day one
Sponsored and cosponsored bills, amendments, committees, and government officials sync on schedule from Congress.gov — bills and amendments refreshed every two hours — filtered to your member. A new office launches with its real record, not demo filler.

The questions a chief of staff should ask.

Can our data live on outside infrastructure?

Every office runs its own isolated deployment on its own dedicated database — row-level security on every table, individual sign-in for every staffer, and a write-only intake page for back data. Your data is yours: never shared, never co-mingled, and never used to train anyone else's tools.

When Arena Intelligence gets it wrong — then what?

Nothing goes out on autopilot. Every draft is grounded in your approved positions and flagged wherever it conflicts with them; when a fact is missing, Arena Intelligence leaves a placeholder to verify instead of inventing one; and a human approval chain sits on everything it produces.

What about franking — and the wall between official and campaign work?

Arena Congress is strictly official-side. Campaign work lives in a separate product on separate infrastructure — separate deployment, separate database, no shared logins. The wall is architecture, not policy.

You're a small vendor. What happens to our data if you disappear?

Month-to-month, no long-term contract, cancel anytime — and your office's data always remains yours, with your record exportable at any time.

White-glove onboarding

Onboarding is a service, not a PDF.

Then it's month-to-month with no long-term contract — and your office's data always remains yours.

A named onboarding manager
One person owns your launch from kickoff through go-live — not a ticket queue.
One-on-one training for every director
Comms, legislative, scheduling, district — every director is trained individually on their own part of the room before launch.
Branded to the office
Seal, palette, letterhead, newsletter banners, signature — every screen and every generated document looks like your office, not a vendor.

See the room for yourself.
