  • Patent number: 11973726
    Abstract: A system creates alerts of issues of importance to an organization. While an organization does not want to miss the opportunity to run an advocacy campaign on an issue of importance, it also does not want to run an unsuccessful campaign that might burden or bore those to whom the campaign is directed. The system maintains a history of previous campaigns as well as success outcomes of those campaigns. A computational model operates on selected previous campaigns and a candidate issue to determine a score indicative of whether a campaign should be run. The score can include a combination of relevancy to criteria for an issue of importance, similarity to issues from previous campaigns, and outcome success data for the selected previous campaigns. If the combined score meets a threshold, the system can present an option to initiate a new advocacy campaign on the candidate issue.

  • Patent number: 11888600
    Abstract: An advocacy system uses trained machine learning models to create messages that are sent to advocates or policymakers to achieve desired outcomes for an organization. Desired outcomes can include, for example: an advocate sending a message to a policymaker or legislative representative advocating in favor or the organization's position on an issue; a policymaker acting or voting in favor of the organization's position on an issue; or an advocate making a financial contribution to the organization. The machine learning models can be configured to select possible message characteristics or features that the system will include/use in creating/sending messages to/for individual senders and recipients. The machine learning models can be trained based on message characteristics, personal profile characteristics of senders/recipients, and outcomes from previously sent messages.
