The Relationship Intelligence Platform Government Affairs Teams Have Always Needed.
Built by One of Their Own.
StatecraftCRM is the purpose-built CRM for in-house government affairs teams — the professionals managing high-stakes relationships with commissioners, legislators, agency staff, and community leaders at regulated companies across America. It was built because nothing else was.
The Problem I Couldn’t Stop Thinking About.
After years running government and external affairs at Pepco Holdings and Exelon Corporation — managing stakeholder coalitions across multiple jurisdictions, navigating rate proceedings, engaging legislative relationships across the Mid-Atlantic — the same problem kept surfacing. The relationships were the work. The relationships were the asset. And the relationships lived in spreadsheets, in email threads, in the institutional memory of whoever happened to be at the organization longest.
When that person left, the relationships left with them. When a capital project hit a neighborhood where engagement had lapsed, the team found out at the public hearing. When leadership asked for a board presentation on stakeholder health, the answer was a frantic morning pulling from five different Excel files that nobody fully trusted.
Salesforce was built for sales pipelines. Generic CRMs have no concept of commissioner appointment cycles, relationship temperature, or the difference between a committee assignment and a floor vote. The enterprise platforms that do understand government affairs — Quorum, FiscalNote — are built for K Street lobbying shops with six-figure software budgets and dedicated platform managers. The in-house teams at utilities, hospital systems, infrastructure developers, and technology companies were managing billion-dollar regulatory relationships with tools built for selling software subscriptions.
So I built what should have existed.
Relationship Intelligence.
Purpose-Built for Government Affairs.
StatecraftCRM is not a repurposed sales CRM. It was built from the ground up by a government affairs practitioner who understood the specific problem — which is why it has concepts and features that no generic CRM has ever thought to include.
STAKEHOLDER CRM
Contact records that understand your work. Commissioners with appointment dates and term expirations. Elected officials with committee assignments and election cycles. Relationship scores that mean something: Strong, Good, Neutral, Opportunity, At Risk, Negative.
STAKEHOLDER HEATMAP
Your entire stakeholder universe on a map, color-coded by relationship strength. Spot the gaps before your VP does. Identify the district where you haven’t engaged in two years before the construction crew shows up.
AI BRIEFING GENERATOR
It’s 7am. You have a meeting with a state senator at 9am. StatecraftCRM pulls your full interaction history, her committee assignments, your organization’s position on her priority issues, and produces a complete briefing document in seconds.
INTERACTION LOGGER
Every meeting, call, site visit, and hearing — logged in seconds. The institutional memory your team has been meaning to build for years, finally built. When someone new joins, they start from everything your team has built, not from scratch.
ISSUE TRACKER
Track every docket, proceeding, and legislative priority. Link contacts to issues and see who stands where. Connect relationship intelligence to policy intelligence.
WEEKLY ACTIVITY REPORTS
One click. A formatted PDF showing every interaction logged, every contact engaged, every issue advanced. Send it to your director before the Monday check-in. No more filling out a Word document from memory.
The Mid-Market GR Team Has Never Had a Tool Built for Them.
Enterprise platforms like Quorum and FiscalNote start at $25,000 a year. They are built for large lobbying operations with dedicated platform managers, implementation teams, and software budgets that require board approval.
Most in-house government affairs teams are not that. They are three to fifteen people at a utility, hospital system, technology company, financial services firm, or infrastructure developer. They have serious work to do, serious relationships to manage, and zero appetite for a six-month implementation project.
There are roughly 50,000 teams like that in America. Until now, nobody built them a product.
No credit card. No sales call. No implementation timeline. Full access to core CRM features.
Heatmaps, AI briefing generator, interaction logging, issue tracker, weekly activity reports. Everything a GR team needs.
Unlimited users, RegulatorIndex data integration, commissioner tracking direct to CRM. Built for multi-state GR operations.
When You Need Both Relationship Intelligence and Regulatory Intelligence.
StatecraftCRM manages the relationship side of government affairs — who you know, how well you know them, what’s been discussed, what comes next. RegulatorIndex manages the regulatory side — what’s happening at every PUC, what commissioners are doing, what proceedings are open. At the Enterprise tier, they connect directly.
StatecraftCRM
Stakeholder CRM. Heatmaps. AI briefing generation. Interaction logging. Issue tracking. The relationship intelligence infrastructure government affairs teams have always needed.
RegulatorIndex
50-state PUC coverage. Commissioner tracking. Docket monitoring. Regulatory horizon scanning. The regulatory intelligence infrastructure the field had been missing.
