American government publishes the rules you must follow across thousands of places. Federal Index reads the federal government, legislation in all 50 states, and a growing list of county governments — then tells each person on your team what it means for their job, with the citation attached.
There is no inbox for compliance. A federal agency posts a rule Tuesday. Your state adopts a stricter version in a bulletin nobody reads. The county changes a permit requirement at a commission meeting. None of them tell you. All of them can fine you.
Not one government. A cascade of them — each with its own agencies, its own calendar, its own penalties. This is the map Federal Index is built against. We monitor the federal tier and state legislation today, and are working down the county layer — with the covered list published.
Five steps run on every document, for every customer, as your regulators publish. Step three is the one that matters most.
Federal registers, dockets and enforcement, all 50 states’ legislation, and a growing county list.
Read the document. Extract what changed, for whom, by when.
No claim ships without a link to the primary source. Uncited work is blocked.
Send it to the exact roles it affects. Nobody else is bothered.
Every brief and action becomes an audit trail you can hand a regulator.
Step 3 is our hard rule. An AI that can't show you the line of law it's quoting is a liability, not a product. Ours is not permitted to speak without one.
Your CFO and your safety lead do not need the same email. Federal Index knows your industry and every person's role, and writes each of them a different sentence about the same document.
Your workspace is built from your industry and your team before you ever sign in. Pick a company shape and a seat to see what that person actually gets — their brief, the tabs they work in, and what they are measured on.
Everything below is what the system does today — published, verifiable, and checkable before you buy. No adjectives doing the work of a number.
Your subscription covers the federal government, legislation in all 50 states and D.C., and 25 county governments — including the four most populous counties in America — each one named on a published list you can check before you buy. That is where the obligations which actually fine mid-market companies come from.
America has 91,438 local governments in total, and the roadmap runs down through them in the order our customers actually operate: state administrative codes layered on top of state legislation, then more counties, then the municipal tier. Those are on the horizon — and every one that goes live reaches your account at no additional cost.
Coverage grows as the business grows, and that is written into our contract rather than left as a promise. Our Coverage Commitment binds us to tell your founder, general counsel, and COO — in writing — every 200 counties we add and whenever a new level of government goes live, at no change to your rate.
The product works the same way at the moment it matters: when an obligation may reach beyond the jurisdictions in your plan, it says so on the spot and points you to the right authority. Your team always knows the exact reach of what it owns.
The incumbents give you a database to search. Federal Index tells your team what changed, who owns it, and by when — with the citation already attached.
Local coverage built by analysts reading PDFs by hand — real work, but it doesn’t scale.
A searchable library — you still have to go find what changed.
Keyword hits inside documents, with no citation trail back to the law.
A big coverage number with no list you’re allowed to check.
“Contact sales for pricing.”
Local coverage built from structured platform APIs — every source verified before it counts.
Obligations routed to the right person, each with an owner and a deadline.
Every claim cites its primary government source — or the system doesn’t say it.
A published county list you check before you buy, and a contract that binds us to it.
A quote computed from your real footprint, in minutes — no call required.
Verified July 2026: the leading local-monitoring vendors state plainly that their coverage is human analysts reading documents. Honest work — but not what scales, and not what you’re buying here.
No implementation project. No professional-services quote. Three steps.
Your industry, states, counties, and team. As you fill it in, our backend drafts your regulator map automatically — then you confirm it. If you miss a regulator, we add it and show our work.
Your quote is computed from your actual footprint — states, agencies, users, legal entities, weighted by how regulated your industry really is. No "contact sales for pricing" theater.
Each teammate receives their own credentials — no shared logins. Dashboards arrive pre-configured for their role and your industry, and briefings start flowing as soon as your regulators publish.
It installs and lives in your dock like any other program. Open it and you meet the vault gate. During beta we release builds to approved accounts one at a time — ask for yours below.
The app opens straight to the vault gate, and your company account is what unlocks it —
we approve those one at a time during beta, then send you the build.
That is what keeps one customer's regulatory data structurally separate from another's.
Not signed yet, so macOS will warn you the first time: right-click the app → Open → Open.
Questions, or want an account? email the founder.
Drag to Applications, or run the installer. Federal Index gets its own icon and its own window, like any desktop app.
Three keys: your company, your email, your own password. Every employee gets their own — no shared logins, so nobody signs in as anyone else.
The moment you're through, your screen is configured for your industry and your role. The CFO's view and the plant manager's view are different screens — assembled before either of them logs in.
Federal Index is opening a limited beta to companies who'd rather read the rule than the violation notice.
