North Group
A North Group operating brief, for whoever owns the government file

The government watchlist,
checked without you

Somebody at your organization is supposed to know what council, the ministry and the regulator are about to do, and it is usually a person with another full time job. This is the brief that hands the checking to whichever AI assistant you already have. Copy it, paste it into a new conversation, and it asks which pages matter and where the alert should land before it watches anything.

You learn about the rule change from a competitor's post, not from the government that made it. The consultation that shaped it closed last month, and the notice sat the whole time on a page you already knew about, one click deep, updated on a day nobody looked.
What changed

The pages have always been public, and reading them has always been a job nobody was given. Agendas, bills, consultations and registries each update on their own rhythm, in their own corner of a different website, and the only organizations that saw things early were the ones paying somebody to look. An assistant that can read a page on a schedule closes that gap: it holds yesterday's copy of every page, says nothing while nothing changes, and puts the quoted line and the deadline in front of you the morning something does.

What a Tuesday looks like once it is set up
Tue 07:30
The scheduled check runs every page against yesterday's saved copy
Tue 07:31
Four pages are unchanged, so nothing at all is written about them
Tue 07:32
A new committee agenda item matches your words, quoted with its link
Tue 07:33
One message arrives, the nearest deadline sitting on top
Tue 09:00
You raise it with your team before anyone asks whether you saw it
Get the brief
One page, written to be pasted into whatever assistant you already use. No course, no call booking, no drip sequence.
We send the brief and nothing else. No drip sequence, and no call unless you ask.
If you have not used Claude before

It is an ordinary chat window, whichever assistant you use. You paste the brief, answer its questions about which pages matter, and it does the checking from there. Nothing gets installed.

What it does not do. It watches the pages it was given and nothing else. A decision announced somewhere you never listed will pass it by, and it tells you which pages it could not read rather than guessing at them.

Written for
Founders, policy leads and association staff who carry the government file off the side of their desk
What you need
Whatever AI assistant you already have, and the pages you wish you checked
Time to first run
About half an hour to set up, then the first scheduled check the next morning
What is in it
A policy lead pastes the brief into the assistant their company runs and names the one decision they cannot be surprised by. It proposes pages across the bodies that own that decision, and the baseline run reports that one of them only renders in a browser, so it watches the feed behind it instead. The next check is silence. The one after carries a single new agenda item, quoted, linked, with the meeting date on top.
The morning the item appears, you are the one who tells your team, with the link.
