Municue
Matter Tracking

Follow every issue from introduction to resolution.

City issues don't happen in one meeting — they span months across committees and bodies. Municue detects when agenda items are related, groups them into trackable threads, and keeps you current at every step.

How Matter Tracking works

01

Link related hearings

AI reads every agenda item, extracting case IDs, file numbers, and topic signals to find items that belong together.

02

Build the matter record

Related items are merged into a single trackable thread with title, status, timeline, and involved bodies.

03

Prioritize significance

Each matter gets an importance score based on recurrence, multi-body engagement, entity density, and timeline span.

04

Recommend next steps

Role-targeted actions are generated so developers, attorneys, and residents know exactly what to do next.

Every matter has a story

Frequently asked questions

What is matter tracking in municipal government?+

Matter tracking follows legislative items — like zoning cases, code amendments, and infrastructure projects — across every committee hearing, council vote, and public meeting where they appear. Instead of reading each meeting individually, you see the full story of an issue from introduction to resolution.

What types of matters does Municue track?+

Municue detects and tracks zoning cases, special use permits, planned development amendments, citywide code amendments, area plans, infrastructure projects, housing programs, budget items, and government contracts. Each matter is classified by kind and scored for importance.

How does Municue detect that agenda items are related?+

Municue uses a multi-pass detection system: first linking items that share official case IDs or file numbers (like DCA190-002 or Z-25-000037), then identifying topic continuity across meetings, and finally cross-referencing external identifiers from the city's legislative management system.

What does the importance score mean?+

Each matter receives an importance score from 0 to 100 based on recurrence across meetings, the number of government bodies involved, entity density, matter kind, and timeline span. Matters are tiered as Major (60+), Significant (40-59), Notable (20-39), or Minor (0-19).

What are role-targeted actions?+

For each active matter, Municue generates specific next steps tailored to your professional role. A developer gets guidance on zoning compliance and permitting timelines, while a journalist gets leads on opposition votes and public records requests. Actions are updated as the matter progresses.
