PolicyTrace

PolicyTrace is a web app (with optional mobile companion) that monitors science-policy activity across selected jurisdictions and agencies, then turns it into a practical, auditable workflow for research organizations. Users subscribe to specific topics (e.g., clinical trials, AI safety, biosecurity, open science, research security, grant compliance) and get a “what changed, why it matters, and what to do next” brief with source links and a change log. It’s not a generic news feed: it’s built for compliance and planning, with internal routing (who needs to see this), deadlines, and a lightweight impact assessment template. An AI layer helps summarize long documents, extract obligations, and highlight deltas between versions, but every claim is traceable to primary sources. Realistically, the value is saving staff time and preventing missed policy shifts—not replacing policy experts.
