What Perch Does

Intelligence that shapes outcomes — not just awareness.

Most tools tell you what happened. Perch tells you what it means and what to do about it — built from the complete spoken record of the Texas Legislature.

01 — Member Intelligence
Know Your Member

Behavioral patterns, argument preferences, top issues, and what actually moves them — derived from every word they've spoken on the record. Not reputation. The record.

02 — Committee Intelligence
Read the Room

Each committee has its own culture. Who dominates questioning. What arguments land. What the bill outcomes look like. Know before you file — not after.

03 — Issue Intelligence
Find Your Path

Search any issue and see who's engaged, what they've said, which bills passed, and which members are key votes — across both chambers and multiple sessions.

What You Get

Two outputs. One search.

Under the Hood

Built from the complete Texas legislative record.

Not scraped headlines. Not press releases. The actual words spoken in committee — extracted, attributed, and indexed for meaning.

01
Transcript Ingest

Every committee hearing pulled from the Texas legislative record — 779 hearings, 63,000+ spoken statements, every paragraph indexed.

02
Statement Extraction

Automated analysis identifies who said what, about which bill, with what sentiment — turning raw transcripts into structured intelligence attributed to each legislator.

03
Semantic Indexing

Every statement is indexed for meaning — so searching "abortion" surfaces a member's statements about physician judgment exceptions, not just keyword matches.

04
Intelligence Synthesis

Behavioral patterns, confidence scores, topic briefings, and bill cross-references — assembled into intelligence you can act on immediately.
