The Challenge

As a solo, multi-client lobbyist in Iowa, Logan Shine was hitting a ceiling. With 15-20 clients already stretching his capacity, adding more meant hiring staff or sacrificing service quality. Every week, he spent over 20 hours combing through legislative websites, entering data into spreadsheets, summarizing bills, and building reports to justify his work to clients.

I’m a people person. But every Thursday and Friday, I was buried in administrative work. Manually tracking bills, updating spreadsheets, summarizing legislative activity… it wasn’t scalable.

Despite his deep expertise and relationships at the Capitol, administrative overload limited Logan’s ability to grow.

The Outcome

After adopting Legible, Shine Strategies daily workflow changed dramatically.

Legible is like my AI assistant. It does the hard part, surfacing, sorting, and summarizing bills, so I can focus on influencing policy and building relationships.

With Legible, Logan:

  • Reclaimed over 20 hours per week
  • Onboarded 3 new clients within one session
  • Increased projected client capacity from 15-20 → 25-30
  • Delivered faster, more accurate reports
  • Gained an edge he didn't formerly think possible

I tell clients: you hire me for my relationships. But Legible adds a new layer of value: real-time reports, tracked bills, and a level of visibility I couldn’t offer before.

The Legible Advantage

Logan’s most-used features:

  • Bill Chat & Summaries: Ask questions and receive instant context
  • Recommended Legislation: Personalized insights by client
  • Live Schedule Updates: Stay on top of fast-moving committee changes
  • Client Portal: Seamless collaboration and transparency
  • Policy Chaining: Catch hidden bill language and similar issues early

Legible helps me see around corners. I’ve caught language buried in unrelated bills—things I’d normally miss late in session.

The Verdict

It’s the best purchase I’ve made all year. If you’re a policy professional, sit for a demo, you wont regret it.

Legible helped Logan scale his impact without sacrificing quality. With AI-powered insight and streamlined reporting, Shine Strategies is ready for whatever comes next, without the burnout.
