Who it's for
One single platform. Serving several purposes.
Hansa is always on, reading the parliamentary record, the news and what parliamentarians are saying about your issues. It lets teams know what has changed, and what to do about it. Regardless of where you work, whether it is in a boutique government relations firm or a large not-for-profit, everyone receives the same continuous monitoring and a bespoke written brief. What differs is the pressure it takes off the team.
The different ways to use Hansa
Every organisation below gets the same continuous monitoring and the same written brief. What differs is the pressure it takes off.
Corporate affairs teams
One or two people covering a whole portfolio, where being surprised is the failure mode.
Industry associations
Consultations and submissions are the job, and the board wants to see the work.
Not-for-profits
Small teams running campaigns where parliamentary timing decides the outcome.
GR consultancies
Several clients, one week, and the reading is all unbillable.
In-house corporate affairs teams
In-house corporate affairs is usually one or two people covering a whole portfolio, and things can easily get missed. Nothing hurts more than being surprised by a story in the media.
Hansa reads the political conversation around the clock: Hansard, committee inquiries, ministerial releases, the news, and what parliamentarians are saying about your issues. Every morning it writes you a brief on what moved on your issues, sourced back to the record. If something breaks at 2pm, you hear it at 2pm, not in tomorrow's read. You are across it before the executive floor is.
It also means the knowledge stops walking out the door with the person. When someone leaves a team of one or two, the relationships and the reasoning behind every position usually go with them. In Hansa it is already recorded as the work happens, so their replacement inherits the full picture.
Industry associations
For a peak body, the calendar runs on consultations. A paper drops, it closes in four weeks, and if you miss it you have lost your say on the rules your members live under for years. Too often nobody sees the paper until week three.
Hansa watches for the signals continuously and tells you every morning, and the moment it happens, what has moved on your issues. Every claim is sourced, so when the board asks where this came from, you can show them the Hansard line or the release rather than a summary of a summary.
Then it helps you act. The record of what you monitored, what you filed and who you engaged builds itself as the team works, which is the report your board wants at every meeting.
Not-for-profits and advocacy organisations
Advocacy campaigns are won and lost on timing. A committee reports, an inquiry opens, a minister shifts language in a speech, and the window to respond is measured in days. Most advocacy teams do not have anyone whose job is to watch for that.
Hansa is that watch. It monitors the parliamentary record, the news and what parliamentarians are saying, against your campaigns, scores what it finds for how relevant and how consequential it is, and surfaces only what matters. When something breaks on a campaign you are running, you are told then, not in a weekly round-up.
Funders and boards want evidence of influence, and Hansa keeps that trail without anyone having to write it up afterwards.
Government Relations consultancies
In a consultancy the reading is unbillable, and it is most of the week. Your people are across several clients, and each one expects you to know what happened in their sector by the time they call.
Hansa does that read for every client at once, all day and all night. Each client is a separate workspace with its own issues, stakeholders and brief, so your consultant walks into the 9am already briefed on all of them. There is no analyst pool behind it, which is why it works the same way at six clients or sixty.
Because you hold competing clients in one system, isolation is architectural. One client's positions can never surface in another's workspace.
