Frequently Asked Questions

Where does PollCap get its competitive data?
All competitive data comes from public sources: FEC contribution filings (synced every 15 minutes), FEC disbursement records, and Congress.gov legislative data. PollCap never uses private or proprietary data about opponents.
Is it legal to analyze opponent fundraising data?
Yes. FEC filings are public records required by federal law. Every data point PollCap surfaces is already publicly available — we simply aggregate, normalize, and analyze it so your team does not have to do it manually.
How often is opponent data updated?
FEC contribution data syncs every 15 minutes. Congress.gov legislative data refreshes daily. Flash Reports can be regenerated on demand whenever new filings appear.
What is a Flash Report?
A Flash Report is an AI-generated competitive brief that summarizes an opponent’s fundraising trajectory, donor concentration, vulnerability points, and recommended counter-moves. It is designed to be read in under five minutes and shared with campaign leadership.
Can PollCap predict which shared donors might defect?
Yes. Defectability analysis scores shared donors by recency, momentum, and giving ratio between campaigns. Donors who are giving less frequently or in smaller amounts to an opponent are flagged as high-probability conversion targets for your team.
