Everything a paid strategist would tell you. In one document.
Most first-time candidates get vague advice — "knock doors", "send mail", "hold a kickoff". A real plan is specific. Which doors. Whose mail. When. That's what this is.
We compare your district's recent vote behavior to your vote goal. You get a clear answer — 'flippable', 'safe', 'reach' — with the math behind it. No false hope, no doomer takes.
Every active voter sorted into universes — core and likely supporters to recruit, the unidentified middle to persuade, and the opposition to skip. Exportable as a list for mail, text, and door vendors.
When to recruit volunteers, when to persuade, when to chase out the vote — with rough volunteer shift counts and a contact-budget estimate, by phase.
What mail, texting, and digital actually cost to reach the voters you need — so you can walk into a vendor meeting knowing what's fair.
Every chart has a one-line 'what this means' and a 'what to do about it'. Written by people who've built these reports by hand for a decade.
Download the report as a PDF and the lists as CSVs. Hand it to a vendor, a county chair, or a campaign manager — it's an asset, not a subscription.
You don't need to contact every voter about everything.
Blanket outreach is how first-time campaigns burn their budget. Every active voter is sorted into a voter universe — your supporters, the unidentified middle, and the opposition you can skip — each with a clear job, so you spend on the people you can actually move, at the moment it matters.

100% transparent, by design.
Most tools hand you a "score" and ask you to trust it. We'd rather you understand it. Every number on your dashboard comes from public data and arithmetic you could check yourself.
Estimated turnout is the average of recent election results with a 3% buffer added. That's the entire model — nothing hidden, nothing purchased.
Party leaning is determined only by looking at who votes in which primary. No commercial scores, no guesswork, no assumptions about how you'll vote.
We never use confusing models or proprietary algorithms. If a number is on your dashboard, we can tell you exactly how we got it.
A $5,000 strategist's answer, for $500.
The same numbers professional campaigns pay thousands for — winnability, voter targets, a field plan, and a real budget. One flat price, the whole cycle, no upsells.
