Most small public affairs teams don’t have a tracking problem — they have a prioritization problem. In the kickoff of our “Small Team, Big Impact” series, Quorum onboarding consultant Tommy Zei explains why lean teams often feel buried by alerts and how to fix it by separating passive monitoring from active tracking. Learn how to build a two-tier framework that automates a broad “awareness layer” while keeping your “decision list” focused on the high-stakes bills and rulemakings that actually require action this week.
Beyond official filings, Tommy breaks down how to “track the conversation” by spotting policy shifts in social media, newsletters, and committee hearings before they become headlines. Discover the three essential questions your team needs to answer to stop the manual triage and build a system that works for you, not the other way around. It’s about doing more with less by ensuring your human judgment is spent on strategy, not just skimming data.
