Government relations · Intelligence

Monitoring tools tell you what happened. Hansa works on what happens next.

Hansa reads everything around the clock: Hansard, what parliamentarians are saying about your issues, ministerial releases and the news. It connects all of it to your issues and your relationships, writes you a brief before the day starts, and drafts the response ready for your approval. You spend less time managing information and more time managing the relationships that actually move things.

The Masthead: a daily brief covering the Energy Transition Bill and Aged Care Reform, with suggested actions you can add to an issue and this week's federal sitting dates.

What Hansa is

The one secure system for your contacts, issues, consultations and parliamentary intelligence, with Beacon, an AI analyst that answers from your own record, cites every claim, and only acts with your approval.

How Hansa works for you

The Masthead daily brief, with a lead story, suggested actions and sitting dates.

01

A written brief, every morning

Like a junior analyst who reads everything around the clock: the Masthead lands daily, tuned to your issues, with suggested next actions you accept in one click.

It tells you everything you need to know and nothing you don't. News, Hansard and what parliamentarians are saying about your issues, filtered to the policy issues you are actually following.

The new issue wizard: issue name, objective and current priorities, each with a Suggest with Beacon button, and the advocacy vehicle types for the issue.

02

Set up an issue in minutes

Name the issue and let Hansa draft the rest. Suggest with Beacon writes the objective, what success actually looks like, and the current priorities, from what it already knows about the issue and your record.

The objective is what every brief, draft and answer is written against from then on.

Your record, from day one

The parliament is already loaded, the issue is the unit of work, every meeting files itself against the right person, and nothing you committed to gets lost.

Contacts and relationships

The contacts directory, listing parliamentarians and staffers with party, portfolio and role.

03

Every contact, from day one

All nine Australian parliaments pre-loaded: researched bios, committees, parliamentary friends groups, seat margins, election history and electorate maps. Ministerial and electorate staffers are pre-loaded and kept current by Hansa.

You add your own alongside them: media, departmental and external contacts, and the internal stakeholders that matter, such as subject-matter experts inside your business, or the members of your association.

A stakeholder map: 21 contacts plotted by stance from champion to opposed, coloured by party and sized by how often you have engaged them.

04

Stakeholder maps

Every person who matters on an issue, plotted at a glance. Colour is party, size is how much you have engaged them, rim is where they stand.

Group by stance, party, chamber or portfolio to see the gap you have to close, and import an existing list by CSV, or build the map as you go.

Capture and follow-through

The log interaction panel: meeting, call, email or note, recorded against a stakeholder and an issue.

05

One-press email logging

Forward or BCC one Hansa address to log any meeting, call or note. AI files it against the right issue and stakeholder, calendar invites and follow-ups included.

Or record it by hand, with the follow-up created in the same step.

The actions list: open actions assigned to you, each tagged to an issue with a priority and due date.

06

Actions, in one place

Every commitment becomes a tracked action, raised from a logged meeting, accepted from the Masthead, or added by hand.

Allocate actions to your team, set priority, due date and recurrence, then keep track of your own work and theirs. One view shows what is open, pending or overdue across every issue and every person.

The only platform that writes the submission

Hansa finds the consultation, breaks the paper down proposal by proposal, and drafts your submission from the positions you have already taken. No other platform closes that loop.

From intelligence to output

An exposure draft opened in Hansa, with each proposal extracted into a position matrix from strongly agree to strongly disagree.

07

From consultation paper to lodged submission

Hansa detects open consultations, grants and policy papers across Commonwealth and state registers, then extracts every proposal into a position matrix.

It drafts your submission from your recorded positions only, through to inquiry hearings and witness prep.

Drafted outreach in Hansa: recipients ranked and selected, with the option to send one email to everyone or a separate email to each.

08

Outreach, drafted and addressed

Planning a series of meetings in Canberra? Hansa ranks who to contact, drafts each email and hands it to your own mail client.

It then keeps track for you: who you have contacted, who has responded, and who you need to follow up and when. Any task can become a drafted letter, email or set of talking points.

Ask before you walk in

09

Ask Beacon before you walk in

What did we last discuss with this stakeholder? Beacon surfaces past positions, mentions and interaction history, then logs the meeting and adds the follow-up, with your confirmation.

Upload a submission from a competitor, a member, an industry association or anyone else, and Beacon compares it against your own positions, showing where you agree, where you differ and what you have not addressed. Ask it to summarise recent activity for your boss, board or members and it answers grounded in your record, never a guess.

Beacon answering a question about what was committed to a minister's office and when it is due, citing four sources from the user's own record.

Security and access

10

Security, by design

Hansa holds confidential advocacy intelligence for several organisations at once, so isolation is the architecture, not a setting.

Authentication is verified at the edge, before any request reaches the application.

Workspace isolation enforced on every read and write, with sensitivity gates on restricted issues.

Full audit trails, and credentials held in managed key storage, never in code or configuration.

Hosted in Sydney on Australian infrastructure.
