Briefings
The brief that has read it all, and heard it all
Your subject, a whole sector or a single article, written up with its full context, at the time and pace you choose: the bills and the amendments, but also what was said in committee, in the chamber, on morning radio and TV shows, and on X. Every sentence points to its document or its video clip.
A demo on your subjects, with a human. No commitment.
One edition, and everything behind it
Same engine, your subject: as broad or as narrow as you want.
Five examples, among everything a brief can follow
These are only examples. A committee, a person, a company, a region, a tender: anything said or decided can make a brief. Subject, scope, sources, pace, recipients, language and instructions are set brief by brief.
The subject changes by itself; click to choose.
A Polyfact brief as it lands by email, on the Finance Bill for 2027. Above it, what was read to write it: bills and amendments, parliamentary videos, radio and TV segments, posts on X. In the edition: the message header and its attachment, the masthead and its date, the « documents analysed · sources » line, the three-sentence lede, two sourced items, the stake insert, the « What was said » section with its quotes, the « Coming up » section, the numbered list of sources and the subscribe link
Made to measure
In your name, at your pace
It carries the name you give it, and your colours. Daily, weekly or monthly: you choose the pace, the time and the recipients. When there is nothing to report, it says so in one line.
What it read, heard and watched
The full context, not only the texts
The bills and the amendments, and everything said around them: sittings and hearings on video, transcribed word for word, political morning shows, the X accounts of elected officials and organisations. That context is what separates a summary from a note that sees things coming.
The lede
The essentials in three sentences
Enough to know at once whether the rest concerns you. It is what gets read between two meetings, and what gets forwarded to the board.
The references
Every sentence points to its document
A number behind every statement and, behind the number, the original document: the amendment, the minutes, the decree, the video clip. A sentence that does not hold up against its sources does not go out.
At stake
What it changes for you
Under the facts, the insert says what they change for you and until when you can still act. That is what makes a useful note, not a press review.
What was said
The exact words, and the clip to check them
What a deputy argued in committee, what a minister answered on the radio, what a group posted on X: quoted word for word, with who said it and when. The reference opens the video at the right moment.
What follows
What is coming, dated
Tablings, hearings, sittings, publications: the deadlines of the coming days on your subject. You know what to watch before it happens.
Circulation
It travels, attachments included
It forwards like any other email, and whoever wants to follow it subscribes from the link, with no account to create. When a Word note, an Excel table or slides are needed, they arrive attached to the edition.
Example shown: the Finance Bill for 2027. The preview shows the shape of a brief: its sections, its sources and the delivery time. What a real brief says depends on the subject your team asks it to follow.
Frequently asked questions
Everything Polyfact captures. The texts: Assemblée nationale, Sénat, the official journal, Légifrance, authorities and regulators, European institutions. The video: parliamentary sittings and hearings, transcribed word for word. Political morning shows, on radio and television. And the X accounts of elected officials and organisations. You narrow the scope to what concerns you, and you can add the emails you already receive.
The briefing is written at send time, on the latest activity. A debate from the night before is in the next morning's brief.
Yes. Every statement links back to its source · video clip, amendment, official text · so you can reread the exact passage in one click before passing it on.
Yes. One brief per subject, each with its own instruction, days, hour and recipients. A team can follow one specific bill on one side and its whole sector on the other, without mixing them.
Yes, it forwards like any other email. Whoever receives it can subscribe from the link, with no account to create and nothing to pay: they will get the following editions in turn.
Before sending, every factual sentence is confronted with the documents that support it: if it does not hold, it does not go out. The period an edition covers is also bounded to what happened since the previous one, so news already sent does not come back as new.
