Federal, state, and local governments produce enormous amounts of policy text, including the text of laws, regulations, trade agreements, treaties, court decisions, and even public speeches. It is almost impossible for any one human, or team of humans, to gain insights from such large bodies of text. For example, it would take the average person over three years to read the entire US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which contains more than 100 million words and counting. And that is just the reading component. Not comprehension, not quantification, and not analysis.
