AI policy & funding monitoring.
Need to know which AI programs, procurements, or policy changes affect your organization? Prior Signal monitors the record and turns it into action, every finding traceable to the primary source.
The full signal chain.
From the record to a decision.
You get recurring executive briefings, alerts when something material moves, and short action memos that say what changed, what it means for you, and where the evidence is. The same source-traceable method behind our published analysis and trade-data work, pointed at the AI-policy environment.
Common questions.
What do you monitor?
- The signal chain that bears on your organization: federal and provincial AI policy and funding programs, government procurement and tenders, the Canadian AI Safety Institute, public consultations, and legislation: the full record, not headlines after the fact.
What do we receive?
- Recurring briefings, ad-hoc alerts on material changes, and short action memos. Each finding is traceable to the primary source, so you can act before positions harden.
Is this a public data feed?
- No. It is a monitoring engagement scoped to your organization’s exposure. We track the record and turn it into action for you, rather than publishing a generic feed.
How is this different from a news alert?
- An alert tells you something happened. We tell you what it means for your decisions, what to do about it, and where the evidence is, read against the timelines and political economy behind it.

Tell us your exposure and we’ll scope a monitoring brief around it.
Before an engagement starts
Know what you are buying.
Organizations exposed to specific AI policy or procurement changes.
Important source changes are being found late or without a clear owner.
What you receive
- A monitored-source register.
- Dated change summaries linked to the primary text.
- Briefings and alerts at the agreed cadence.
What we need from you
- Named decisions, jurisdictions and topic boundaries.
- An internal recipient and escalation owner.
What is not included
- Exhaustive coverage of every jurisdiction or unlisted source.
- 24/7 response, legal advice or unlimited research.
How completion is checked
- Briefings identify what changed, its source and remaining uncertainty.
- Coverage and response performance are checked against the agreed schedule.
- Timing
- Recurring coverage, source list, briefing cadence and response windows are agreed before the term begins.
- Fees and changes
- A defined recurring scope is priced before work starts. Additional sources, urgent work and implementation are separately agreed.
- Ownership and handover
- You receive the agreed briefings and source record. Monitoring ends with the engagement unless renewed.
These are the standard scope boundaries; the signed proposal controls the specific engagement. No ranking, regulatory outcome or third-party behavior is guaranteed.
