DocketScope’s Public Comment Software
DocketScope is Used Across the Federal Government
Capable, Flexible
DocketScope includes a range of capabilities tailored to supply everything you need to complete any regulatory comments analysis project. This robust public comment software improves efficiency and workflows for the entire team with built-in tools to track and analyze comment data, manage teams, and provide real-time metrics and reporting.
- For analysts and others reviewing comments – automatically set up comments to be reviewed, then categorize and cite them with just a few clicks.
- For project managers of comments analysis projects – make assignments, status updates, quality control, and real-time project metrics available instantly.
- For policymakers – make comments analysis faster, more accurate, and more consistent, and produce detailed data on every aspect of the process.
- For agencies – improve the process and product of rulemaking.
DocketScope makes PDF attachments easy to review by creating a version that appears as HTML. This lets you highlight and interact with comment text more easily, smoothing the process of reading and selecting text compared to the native format. The user interface allows for filtering out reports using flexible rules created during the analysis process, while downloading eliminates time-consuming redundancies in accessing comment text, creating more time to review more substantive comments.
Accessible, Intuitive
Analyze comments more efficiently using DocketScope’s multi-paned comment reading user interface. Review comments and attachments, cite issues raised, and map to an issue outline in a single, intuitive page. Gain easy access to, and effectively manipulate, substantive comments and significant issues even at a large scale. Use DocketScope’s customizable and project-specific categories and tags for flexibility in analyzing commenters and comments.
DocketScope automatically pre-identifies duplicates and clusters of similar comments before you even see a comment, minimizing the time required to address form-letter campaigns and other groups of very similar comments and enabling staff to concentrate on addressing unique content. Effortlessly identify the relevant matter presented, as required by the Administrative Procedure Act, and focus on writing targeted responses to the issues raised rather than sorting through and organizing comments.
Real-time, Clear
A real-time display of project data provides a current snapshot of progress, assignments, and findings without additional manipulation and synchronizes seamlessly with Regulations.gov. With the multi-paned screen presentation for reading comments, you can review comments and attachments, cite issues raised, and map comments to an issue outline—all in a single, efficient, and intuitive page. Effectively manage data at all stages of the comments analysis process using this streamlined data display.
At a glance, observe the current status of projects from multiple perspectives.

Effective Team Management
As a project manager, employ role-based access, where users can only see and interact with content that aligns with their organizational role, simplifying training and clarifying responsibilities. With DocketScope, create and maintain a complete hierarchical issue outline, allowing you to quickly set up an initial outline at the beginning of a project and revise it as your team’s understanding of the issues changes, without missing a step.
Using DocketScope’s comment clustering feature, automatically group similar comments together to assign to the same team member. This feature improves efficiency and saves time by allowing individual team members to work faster as they address similar material.
Use tagging based on rules you define to refine search parameters and resulting comments, set up tags based on specific phrases or criteria, and organize high-volume comments into groups for efficient assignment and review.
