Rhetor's political practice is operationally different from our SMB work. The deliverables are different, the data sources are different, and the cycle compression is different. Rhetor runs it out of a separate team built around those differences, with its own infrastructure, its own analysts, and its own ethics framework.
Our coverage spans real-time sentiment analysis across digital and traditional media, legislative bill tracking with amendment trails and sponsor-network mapping, constituent and narrative analytics, voter forecasting models tuned to the district, and forensic accounting plus spend-anomaly detection on the campaign finance side.
We scope engagements at the campaign or organization level, on cycle. Pricing reflects the data infrastructure, the analyst hours, and the time-sensitivity. We don't run political work like an SMB engagement, because it is not one.
Our political team works under a separate engagement contract with bipartisan ethics provisions. The work is the intelligence product, not the campaign strategy. The strategy belongs to the candidate and their consultants. We deliver the data that makes the strategy possible.
