Turn an idea into a proposal
people act on.
CiviDraft is a copilot for consequential work in policy and in business — from a first research note to a finished bill, business plan, or client recommendation that holds up under scrutiny.
WHAT IS CIVIDRAFT?
One copilot for policy and business.
CiviDraft walks you through every stage of consequential work — researching the problem, drafting the document, identifying who has to say yes, and stress-testing your proposal against the same scrutiny it will face in the real world.
Use it to produce bills, resolutions, testimony, policy briefs, business plans, pitch decks, client recommendations, and white papers — whether you are a student, a founder, an organizer, a consultant, a staffer, or an elected official.
The CiviDraft workflow.
Five steps that mirror how real proposals get made — and pressure-tested.
- Step 1
Learn
Research the issue with vetted sources.
- Step 2
Draft
Write the document — legal text, plan, or deck — in plain language too.
- Step 3
Identify
Identify stakeholders and build a plan to win them over.
- Step 4
Stress Test
Simulate oral defense, interviews, hearings, investor pitches, and client reviews.
- Step 5
Advocate
Send it into the world — testimony, outreach, publication.
The Stress Test stage includes simulated oral-defense sessions, stakeholder interviews, and mock committee hearings — so your policy is ready before it ever hits a real room.
Built for everyone in the room.
Five capabilities form the foundation of CiviDraft. Phase 1 ships authentication, role management, and the design system.
Section-by-section drafting
Edit legal text and plain language side-by-side, with version history and auto-save.
Translate with AI
Convert dense legalese into 8th-grade plain language — and back — with one click.
Real collaboration
Invite co-authors, leave threaded comments anchored to sections, and resolve in place.
Impact analysis
Surface affected groups, fiscal estimates, risks, and benefits — in structured form.
WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility
Keyboard navigation, screen-reader optimized, dyslexia-friendly font, high contrast.
From draft to published
Move proposals through draft, review, published, and enacted with role-aware permissions.
Part of the
mission
One tool in a bigger movement.
CiviDraft complements the broader CiviCraft mission of helping young people understand and shape the world around them. We build the tools, media, and experiences that make civic participation feel possible — not abstract.
