📝Researchers & Writers
Clarity in a Sea of Policy Documents
Whether you're a journalist, academic, or industry analyst, finding and interpreting the right regulation at the right time is often the hardest part of your work. STRisker brings structure, speed, and signal to your research.
Challenges & Pain Points
Too Many Sources, Not Enough Time
Regulatory data is spread across thousands of city, county, and regional websites. Manually checking agendas, minutes, and ordinance drafts drains your time and focus.
Lack of Searchable, Organized Archives
Even once you've found the document, navigating poorly scanned PDFs or unindexed files makes finding the right passage a time-consuming task.
Difficult to Spot Trends Across Jurisdictions
Comparing patterns across cities or states — on topics like housing affordability, zoning reforms, or STR bans — means juggling spreadsheets and bookmarks instead of doing real analysis.
Limited Access to In-Progress Legislation
By the time most data hits the media, it’s old news. Writers and researchers need visibility into the early stages of local legislation — before final votes are cast.
How STRisker Helps
Search the Full Text of Policy Documents Across the U.S.
We collect, convert, and index millions of local government documents — from city council minutes to zoning amendments — so you can search across jurisdictions in seconds.
Keyword & Company Tracking
Set alerts for key phrases, themes, or stakeholder names (like “Airbnb,” “permit caps,” or “land use rezoning”) and get notified the moment they appear in a new document.
Build Custom Watchlists by Topic or Region
Track multiple locations or policy issues at once. Group them by your research topic (e.g. “Tourism Tax Trends” or “Housing Moratoriums”) and get focused updates.
