The Monday Memo

Every Monday, a memo built for you alone: what moved on your watchlist last week, what's on this week's PC and ZAP agendas that touches your world — matched to the firms, districts, and cases you watch — and one certified stat from the 5,190-hearing record. When nothing moved, it says so. When something did, you knew first.

A Monday Memo: watchlist activity, this week's matching ZAP agenda items, and a certified stat.
A real Monday Memo — a busy week matched to a five-entity watchlist. See the full sample →

Watchlists & alerts

Watch anything the record knows: a firm, an attorney, a district, an owner, a case. New filing, hearing scheduled, postponement, outcome — and when Council makes it law, you hear that too. Alerts arrive with the weekly cycle, sourced only from the certified record.

The watchlist manager: watched firms, attorneys, districts, and cases.
The watchlist manager — add or remove any firm, attorney, district, owner, or case.

Counsel scorecards

The productized answer to "who actually wins X in Y." Per-attorney and per-firm outcome records, filterable by district and year, computed live from the certified record. The hiring decision, and the benchmark mirror, in one page.

Counsel scorecards: per-firm outcome records filterable by district, framework, and year.
Counsel scorecards — computed live from the gate-certified case set; every row is watchable.

The entity record

Every firm, attorney, district, and case in the decade has a permanent page: the full hearing arc, outcomes, staff positions, Council disposition. 3,000+ pages, every number reconciled against the certified record before publish. Cite us; the page will still be there.

A firm entity page: the full 10-year hearing arc, outcomes, and district concentration.
Every firm has a permanent page. The 10-year leaderboard is the public gateway →
How we keep it honest Every figure on this site traces to a public hearing record and passes an automated verification gate before it publishes. Where our coverage has limits, the page says so. When we get something wrong, we print the correction. That discipline is the product.
What Pro is — and is not Is: a standing watch desk for people who underwrite, entitle, or finance Austin deals.

Is not: legal advice, a prediction service (see the Deal Desk), or a lobbying operation. The publication remains firm-neutral; a subscription buys the tool, never coverage.

Pro is your docket watcher. When a deal needs a full risk memo, the Deal Desk is your entitlement analyst → The Deal Desk

Your Monday Memo, every Monday.

Founder's Annual Pro is open at founder cohort pricing.
