Most monitoring tells you a fight is loud. Radar tells you something more useful: whether there's still time to act on it, and whether anyone's already been retained. The best lead isn't the hottest fight — it's the big one, caught early, that nobody's working yet.
Retainability — stakes × runway × (is it open). A huge fight with the vote next week and a lobbyist already on file is a spectacle you can't get paid on. A big one still in staff review, with nobody retained, is a lead.
By the time a fight is loud enough to make the news, it's usually too late to shape cheaply — and a competitor firm has already seen it. Radar's edge is lead time, not coverage.
Radar surfaces a matter at the application or staff-review stage — the window where a firm can still get retained and still affect the outcome.
Every matter is checked for whether a lobbyist or repeat-filing land-use attorney is already engaged. Greenfield ranks higher than a fight someone's already working.
Any matter opens into a Strategic Read — the full temperature of the fight — and from there into the play. Detection, decision, action.
Pick the top lead and watch it open into a Strategic Read, then into the room mapped seat by seat. The whole funnel, clickable.
