FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The Policy Factory is an online platform that helps individuals turn ideas into professionally structured legislative proposals. It guides users through a structured process and generates clear, formal policy language ready for submission or advocacy.

Age is no barrier, and anyone with a computer or smartphone and an idea can use the site. And the bonus, you don’t need legal training, political connections, or prior policy experience to exercise the power of this site. 

No. The Policy Factory is designed to guide non-experts through the process, easily, effectively and professionally, and does so by asking focused questions that convert your answers into structured legislative language.

Most proposals can be generated in as little as five minutes, depending on the complexity of your idea.

As of this writing, our database has the contact information for over 108,000 of the world’s politicians. That means you can draft proposals for:
 
  • International bodies
  • National Parliaments or Congress
  • State or provincial legislatures
  • Local governments and councils
You create the idea, choose the destination and hit ‘send’.
 
Yes, in many instances we will have templates for your use, online. If one’s not there, you can either write us and ask us to write one, or, you can develop your idea from scratch.
The platform helps you develop your idea by walking you through core policy elements such as:
 
  • What problem(s) are you solving?
  • Who is affected/impacted?
  • How should the law operate?
  • What are the expected benefits?
  • Who might support or oppose it?
  • What are budgetary implications
  • What statutory language would you like?
These questions ensure your proposal is thoughtful and credible.

No person or platform can guarantee legislative outcomes. What The Policy Factory can ensure is this: that your idea is professionally structured and ready for serious consideration. Success depends on advocacy, political dynamics, and public support, and we are willing to work with you on that.

A letter expresses an opinion. A structured policy proposal presents a solution and related information. The Policy Factory helps you develop the proposal and move from complaint to concrete legislative language.

User information and drafts are handled securely, and when you decide to publish, you have the option of sharing with the community or keep your idea private. You can also share your information on your choice of social media.   

Public policy shapes daily life — from taxes and schools to infrastructure and healthcare. The Policy Factory lowers the barrier between citizens and the policymaking process.
 
If you can identify a problem, you should be able to propose a solution.
 
That’s the purpose of the Policy Factory.
