Sacramento, CA California Legislature / 2025–26 Session Built by Capitol insiders
About

Built by Capitol insiders. Built for California.

A team of software engineers building legislative intelligence the way Capitol clients said they needed it — one conversation at a time.

Who builds RTG

By people who understand software.

RTG's foundation is Cirkadia, a software studio with 30+ years of shipping production-grade software across legislative work, regulated industries, member organizations, and commercial products. Agile by design, deliberate in scope.

Layered with decades of Capitol expertise — and sharpened by the advocates, association leaders, and legislative practitioners whose feedback has shaped RTG across multiple California sessions.

The team is lean. Onboarding is run by the engineers who build the product. When something breaks, the fix comes from the same team. This is a feature, not a stage we're trying to grow out of.

The cycle

Listen. Build. Ship. Return.

How a Capitol conversation becomes a feature — and how the next one starts.

How we build

Many features in RTG start as a conversation with a Capitol client. The roadmap walks in from the Capitol — not down from a strategy deck. Today's conversation shapes next week's release.

How we think

Five principles. Deliberate, not aspirational.

Stated here so you can hold us to them. These show up in product decisions, support behavior, and how we price.

01 · AI

AI-forward, human-led.

AI saves hours — summarizing bills, flagging position changes between snapshots, drafting first-pass briefs. It doesn't replace the human judgment that moves whip counts. AI-forward, but human-led.

02 · Built for California

California-deep, not California-shaped.

We chose to go a mile deep on one state rather than 50 states an inch thick. Every lobbyist, every CalAccess filer, every committee analysis, every floor vote. If you don't work California legislation, RTG isn't built for you — and we'll tell you.

03 · Workflow

Breathing room, not busywork.

Clean layouts. Intentional whitespace. Popovers instead of new pages. We chose to ship fewer features that compose well, rather than a wall of options. The interface gets out of your way so you can think and do the work.

04 · Support

Engineer-led, not handed off.

When something breaks, you're talking to the people who built it. Onboarding sessions are run by the engineers. The phone is one number, one team.

05 · Roadmap

No black box.

Every RTG customer sees the roadmap from inside the product — what's in development, what's shipping next, what's parked, and why. And customers have a real say in what lands there — the features you asked for are the features we build. The roadmap we work from is the roadmap you see.
