Follow the request through to the response.
Bellwether brings intake, record review, and response preparation into a single workspace for the clerk.
Receive and route
Create a request or review the fields extracted from an incoming PDF. Keep the received date, request description, and department assignments with the case.
The response clock records its calculation and later changes for custodian review. Staff confirm the applicable date and any agency closures.
Intake and routing guide →Collect against the requested items
Break the request into items. Search the two sample files or collect a PDF or text record, then associate it with the item it answers.
Live file-share and cloud connections are planned. Search in the public demo is limited to synthetic records.
