Analysis built for professional use
Political Data Alerts is designed for people who need to understand new data quickly and use the analysis in their own work. That includes public servants briefing senior decision-makers, government relations and corporate affairs teams, industry associations, financial institutions, policy professionals and others working in fast-moving public-policy environments.
Benchmark Analytics selects the important story, interrogates the data and develops an independent analytical view. Paid subscribers receive the supporting evidence, charts, key messages and reusable professional content.
Annual subscriber benefit
Help determine what Benchmark Analytics watches
Annual Political Data Alerts subscribers can nominate up to two Priority Indicators — specific, regularly published data series that matter to their organisation.
You help determine what we watch.
Benchmark Analytics determines what the evidence says.
Agree the analytical focus
Email Benchmark Analytics with your proposed indicators. We will normally have a short discussion about why the measures matter, the appropriate source and the questions you need the data to illuminate.
Benchmark Analytics monitors them
Once confirmed, Benchmark Analytics monitors each Priority Indicator and reviews it whenever the underlying official data is updated. Relevant results are incorporated into Political Data Alerts coverage, either individually or alongside related measures.
Use the analysis
The resulting analysis can support briefings, reports, submissions, stakeholder communications and social media. Where useful during onboarding, we can prepare a sample treatment so you can see how the output is structured.
Priority Indicator onboarding
Already an annual subscriber?
Email your proposed Priority Indicators. Benchmark Analytics will confirm that the series are suitable for ongoing monitoring and arrange a short discussion where useful.
What you receive
Rigorous analysis designed to be useful immediately
An alert is not simply a restatement of the source release. Benchmark Analytics looks for the significant story, tests it against the evidence and develops the analysis in a form professionals can use.
Original analysis
What changed, what is unusual and what the evidence supports.
Evidence & comparisons
Source data, longer time series, cross-sectional or international comparisons where they add insight.
Charts
Clear visual evidence designed to make the analytical point quickly.
Key messages
Concise conclusions suitable for briefings, discussions and stakeholder engagement.
Communications-ready copy
Professional text that paid subscribers can adapt for reports, submissions, stakeholder communications and social media.
Independent conclusions
Subscriber priorities influence what is examined. Benchmark Analytics retains full independence over methodology, interpretation and conclusions.
