This is neat; congratulations on launching. Curious what you do to assure users that you’re searching every corner they’d be checking manually, and that there haven’t been any regressions to the source set. This came up at work recently.

Thanks! I think the best thing we do to assure users that we check everything they'd check is that we add requested data sources pretty fast. E.g., one customer wanted to track announcements from the various state/regional commissions on higher education, and we added those within the hour.

For political monitoring in particular, I think this is pretty important. Different organizations in different industries will inevitably have very specific/obscure sources they want to track, so rather than promising that we already have everything they'd be checking, we just assure them that we can add anything missing really quickly.
