Everything before the comment deadline is advocacy.
Everything after it is compliance. Prodeen watches the official record, the science, the pressure and the stakeholders behind every instrument in your markets, and tells you what moved and how long you have.
We report. The position is yours. Every entry quoted, version-pinned and approved by your team.
A rule can be influenced while it is still being written.
Once the consultation closes, the text is settled and the work turns into compliance. So the unit of advocacy intelligence is not the alert and not the article: it is the instrument, its stage on the clock, and its window. And the clock starts before the regulator's: the science and the pressure are on it first, often a year or two ahead of the agenda.
The window is the object
Open, open informal, closing within 30 days, closed, none. Every instrument carries one, with the next known date and who decides.
The early stations are the warning
A study or a campaign is filed against the instrument it will bear on before any regulator has moved. Those hollow stations are the twelve-to-twenty-four-month view, and the three-to-five-year one when the topic is young.
Scanning tells you something moved
Advocacy intelligence tells you how long you have. The register sorts by next known date, not by when we found it, and the Monday digest opens with the windows closing in thirty days.
The instrument, the evidence, the pressure and the people, on one record.
Regulation, science, NGO and media are covered together, as core sources, in the market's own language. Each voice is a different object with different data; they belong on the same record, filtered by topic and by market, both ways. Topic first, market second: topics travel, markets add their own sources underneath.
The instrument
Official reference, current stage, next known date, window, decision-maker, input channel, history.
The publication
Agency opinions, cohort studies, meta-analyses, tracked as a dataset: the authors, who co-authors with whom, which countries publish, attached to the instrument they will be cited on.
The actor and the message
Campaigns, petitions, positions and the outlets that carried them, with propagation measured from open sources.
The person
Ministries, committees, rapporteurs, intergovernmental offices and trade bodies, placed by what they did on the record.
A fifth voice for legal teams: the courts. When an instrument is challenged, enforced or set by precedent, the case sits on the same clock, filed against the instrument it bears on, from public judgments.
The picture at the top of this page is the one advocacy teams draw by hand, once a year, on one slide; one team told us it had taken them more than twelve months. On the record it is a filter: a topic, its instruments, the science and its authors, the campaigns and who carried them, drawn from the events and kept current every morning, with the link to every original source kept on every event.
From an official record to a decision you make. Five steps, every morning.
Watch
Official records first, then the science, the pressure and the positions taken around them, in the market's own language.
Detect
One monitor per market, plus a cross-market monitor for the supranational drivers. Each asks one question of every instrument: has it moved?
Report
Each finding arrives as an event: what moved, the source quoted, how long the window stays open, what it would change for your category, and a proposed edit to the register.
You approve
The edit is a proposal, never an action. Your expert reads the signal with the source and the person in mind, accepts or rejects it, and the reason stays on the instrument. Rejected events are kept too: they are the calibration.
The register updates
Every instrument with its stage, its next date and its window, ordered by what happens next. And again the following morning.
Draft published for consultation; the comment period runs 60 calendar days.
Diario Oficial de la Federación, draft text, retrieved 5 Dec 2025, quoted in full on the instrument, with the link kept.
Open until the comment deadline; flagged as closing thirty days out.
Criteria for evaluating critical nutrients, and therefore which products carry seals. Connected to your product data, the same block names the products it touches.
Stage: consultation open · next date: deadline · window: open.
A worked event from public sources. Instrument stages and dates are resolved against the official record with the date of retrieval on every entry. Category impact is a working assessment, not legal advice and not a policy recommendation. Monitors and outputs are configured in plain language, by chat: a Monday brief to one person is a setting, not an IT project.
Three things, on three different clocks.
Horizon digest
The past seven days, opening with the windows that close within thirty days. When nothing moved, it says so. A quiet week is information too.
Horizon map
All your markets against all your topics, every instrument coloured by whether its window is open, and a twelve-month view of the dates ahead.
Instrument brief
Issued the moment something opens for consultation or is adopted: the full record, the official text, the formal channel for input, and who decides. Built to be forwarded.
One page per topic. Facts first; a score when you want one.
Six views over the same accepted events, navigable by topic or by market. The hub leads with what can be counted: instruments by stage and window, publications per month and who writes them, how far a campaign travelled, and how long the official record lagged the first signal. A composite score, with its weights visible and yours to set, can come once the record is mature. What cannot be counted honestly is printed as not measured, never zero-filled.
Topics travel. The register keeps which market moved first and how long the official record lagged the science and the pressure. That is a leading indicator, not a forecast, and saying so is the stronger claim.
Only the official record moves an instrument.
A press report or an NGO campaign is recorded as pressure on that instrument, visible, dated, attributed, but it never changes the stage. The gazette does that. We even record the expected move that did not happen, so media volume is never read as regulatory movement. Journalists and campaigners say many things that never happen; the record keeps the source and the person, and your team reads the signal with both in mind.
We report. The position is yours.
Every entry carries its source, quoted, with the date it was retrieved and the link kept. We tell you what moved, how long you have and what it would change. What your company does about it is not ours to write: no recommendation, no talking points, no ranking of people. The priority bands and weights you work with are yours to define.
Instruments on one register
A global beverage company runs the programme across five topics and six markets, with a Monday digest, a monthly horizon map and instrument briefs on stage change; a sixth market was added within a month of launch, in days.
Readings that held up
Across sixteen food and beverage companies in one quarter, 378 of the 397 outputs that received direct client feedback stood as issued. We publish the log every quarter.
One slide, drawn by hand
What the stakeholder-connection view used to cost one advocacy team. On the record it is a filter over accepted events, redrawn every morning.
References are described by sector and geography. Pilot results are measured on four standard metrics: time from first signal to official record, share of events that needed a decision, decisions taken by named users per month, manual checks replaced.
Beside the tools you keep. Upstream of them.
Public-affairs platforms
Keep them for the bills in Washington and Brussels and for outreach. We cover the food instruments they do not read, the science and the pressure, and we read their tracker in so the topic card shows both.
Media monitoring
Keep it for licensed reach. We record a campaign as pressure on the instrument it pushes, measure propagation from open sources with the working shown, and can put their number beside ours on the same publication.
Your product data
Connect your recipe or product records and the same event reads by product, not only by category: which of your SKUs a threshold, a seal or a claim rule touches.
Consultants and law firms
They should be reading the register when they write the position. We give them better inputs, earlier, and keep the history when they are not in the room. Associations have their own section below.
One register for your members.
Your policy team already runs the job for the whole membership: the consultation calendar, the science watch, the stakeholder map, and then the position. Run the register for the topics you work; your members read briefs that are views over it, and the instrument brief you forward the day a consultation opens is the one each member would otherwise build alone.
Your positions stay yours. The record carries none, which is what lets every member read the same one.
The register
Every instrument on the topics the association works, with its stage, its window and who decides, approved by the secretariat.
Member briefs
One record, many readers: each member sees its markets and product categories, on the Monday clock, without a second pipeline.
The source catalogue
The regulators, journals, NGOs and keyword sets for each topic, shared with members and grown by the monthly discovery loop.
Is this lobbying?
No. We never write or recommend a position. We report what moved, how long the window stays open, what the evidence and the pressure are, and who did what. Any score is descriptive, with its weights visible. The position is yours.
Why not ask a general chatbot?
Four reasons a regulatory team gives its own board. Cost: a multi-market question on a frontier model costs real money every time it is asked, and a team asks it hundreds of times a week. Consistency: we run test questions per jurisdiction every week and flag when an answer drifts. Auditability: the excerpt of the regulation is stored with the answer, and a second agent checks that the model did not alter the text. Sources: the agents are told where the authentic record is, the consolidated text rather than a third-party copy.
We already have a policy-intelligence platform.
Keep it for the bills. It does not read the food instruments outside the legislature, the scientific evidence or the NGO pressure, and it does not attach a category impact. We read its tracker in.
Can an AI understand regulatory intent, not just text?
It does not have to decide anything. Only the official gazette moves a stage; every other movement is a proposal your expert approves or rejects, with the reason kept and the original source one click away. We publish our accuracy log every quarter.
Who sets it up, and who runs it?
Your team, by chat. A monitor for a new market, a Monday brief to one person, a filter on a hub view: each is a setting written in plain language, not a project for IT. Prodeen seeds the register and the source catalogue for the first topic; from then on your expert approves and the rest runs.
Who owns the score weights?
You do, as a setting: equal maxima or weighted, and the page shows whichever you choose. An explainable score with contested weights is worse than no score, so the hub leads with the counts and the score comes when you ask for it.
Where does our data go?
Workspace-scoped, no model training on client data, licensed sources under your own subscription. We can be the hub, or the signal provider into a hub you already run; the record and the approvals travel either way.
How fast, how much?
One topic across your markets, end to end, in weeks. The source catalogue and the instrument register are the first deliverables. The first topic is scoped and priced up front; after that you pay for what runs: more monitors and more markets cost more, and the meter is visible.
Would you sell this to a consumer group?
The register carries no position, so it would serve one; that is exactly why a scientific and regulatory affairs team can put its name on it. We are not selling to campaign groups today; their campaigns appear on your record as what they are to you: pressure on an instrument, dated and attributed.
We are an association. Our members have their own tools.
They keep them. The association runs the register for the topics it works; each member gets a brief that is a view over it, filtered to its markets and categories. One record, many readers, and the association's positions stay the association's.
Instrument register with stages and windows, evidence register, propagation, stakeholder map, indicators and trends, a Monday digest. Every change to the record approved by your team. Scoped and priced up front for the first topic; after that, pay for what runs.
