For associations & advocacy
An association carries a public-policy agenda for a whole sector, with a small policy team and a board to keep informed. Clarion reads Parliament, nine provincial legislatures, the federal and B.C. lobbying registries, and six city councils every night — then shows who else is already lobbying your issue, grades what changed against your agenda, and cites the source. The coalition and the member update, in one place.
The advocacy job
You have to move the file with government AND prove to your members the file is moving — and both depend on seeing the whole board at once.
Your strongest move is rarely solo — it's joining the organizations already lobbying the same issue. But finding them means reading thousands of registry filings by hand, which nobody has time for.
Members renew when they see the agenda advancing. Assembling a credible, sourced member update from scratch every cycle is the work that crowds out the advocacy itself.
By the time an issue reaches the press release, the consultation window is closing. A small team can't watch every committee and registry to catch it while there's still room to shape it.
What an association uses
Not a feature tour — the specific parts of Clarion that find your coalition, write the member update, and get the policy team ahead of the file.
Co-lobbying clusters group the organizations that lobby the same subjects and the same offices — your natural coalition partners, surfaced from the registries instead of guessed at. (We show shared activity, not a declared alliance.)
The combined inbox scores each bill, registration, tender, and council item against your association's saved issues — so the quarterly member update is a feed you curate, not a document you reconstruct.
What's-heating-up momentum flags the subjects accelerating across the registries and order papers — so the policy team engages during the consultation, not after the decision.
Ask Clarion a plain-language question and the answer streams back with the source rows — the bill, the registration, the official's name. Send it to the board with the receipt attached.

Idealized views of the surfaces an association runs — the co-lobbying cluster that names your coalition, the inbox graded to your agenda, what's heating up, and a cited answer you can forward to the board.
Lobbying the same subjects & offices
Critical minerals — your natural coalition
All four registered on critical-minerals subjects with NRCan in the same quarter — a coalition to approach together, not a declared alliance.

›Who else is lobbying critical minerals federally?
Four organizations registered on critical-minerals subjects with Natural Resources Canada this quarter1, led by the Mining Association of Canada, Teck Resources, and Rio Tinto2 — overlapping your agenda on permitting and exploration funding3 — a natural coalition to approach together. Forward to the board with the citations.
Built for a mandate
We surface shared lobbying activity — who's working the same issue and the same offices — without ever asserting a formal alliance that isn't there. And the price is on the page, so a board can approve the line item without a sales call.
