Why early matters
Worked example · Kentucky

On the record two days early. On the wire the same night.

Boyd County publishes no meeting agendas online — but Kentucky law requires published notice. A legal notice on July 7 disclosed a special meeting on a data-center moratorium; it passed July 9.

No national tracker lists a single Kentucky moratorium. Our corridor brief was in a developer's hands within 24 hours.

Worked example · North Carolina

Opposition volume doesn't predict outcomes. History does.

Two Durham proposals, two weeks apart: one drew twenty opposing speakers and failed 1–6; the other drew twelve and passed 4–3. Similar rooms, opposite results.

726decisions with real dates in one city's record, 2013–2026 — the history that tells these apart

How it works
1

Detect

Continuous reading of agendas, minutes, permit applications, and statutorily required legal notices — including jurisdictions that publish almost nothing online.

2

Score

Every matter is scored for consequence — stakes and public contestation — against a growing history of real outcomes: vote splits, speaker counts, decision patterns by body.

3

Brief

Subscribers receive early-warning briefs: what's moving, who decides, what the record shows, and the dated events ahead — every claim labeled documented or inferred.

Who reads Fieldstate

Public affairs & government relations

Know which matters are heading toward a decision — before the retainer call comes.

Corporate siting & development teams

Entitlement climate, moratorium risk, and decision-body history for the places you're building.

Investors & researchers

Local approvals as leading indicators — siting decisions surface here months before they reach filings or coverage.

Journalists

The Wire is free to read and cite. Local decisions deserve coverage; we surface where to look.

Built on the public record — by design
Our standards

Public records only. Everything Fieldstate publishes traces to a government record, a published notice, or an on-record statement. No social-media monitoring, no private data.

Documented vs. inferred, labeled on every claim. A fact and a hypothesis never wear the same clothes — in our briefs or on the Wire.

Side-neutral by architecture. The Wire and our diagnostic briefs describe public matters as they stand; they don't advocate.

We're opening early access

We work closely with a first group of public-affairs firms, siting teams, and research desks — get corridor briefs on the places you work.
