The Challenge
At JW Whitfield Consulting, a small team manages over 20 clients during Georgia’s fast-moving legislative session.
Before Legible, everything was manual.
- Georgia bill tracking across hundreds of pieces of legislation
- Daily updates maintained in spreadsheets
- Hours spent rewatching committee hearings
- Constant monitoring of the state site
Reporting alone took hours every day.
Amanda said, “I would spend a few hours a day updating every single bill… and there’s hundreds.”
Amendments were the biggest challenge.
Bills could change quickly, and sometimes unexpectedly, and tracking those changes required:
- Manual comparison
- Frequent client calls
- Constant cross-checking
“Keeping up with those amendments was tough… we were kind of on our own.”
As client demand grew, so did the pressure.
The team was spending more time managing information than acting on it.
The Solution
JW Whitfield Consulting adopted Legible during the 2026 Georgia legislative session to centralize their workflow.
With Legible, they are able to:
- Track all bills in one place
- Monitor amendments and timelines instantly
- Generate structured client reports
- Collaborate in shared workspaces
- Search hearings with transcripts instead of rewatching video
Instead of juggling spreadsheets and state tools, everything lives in one system.
The Outcome
By integrating Legible into their daily workflow, the team dramatically reduced manual work and improved responsiveness.
14+ Hours Saved Weekly
Reporting and tracking dropped from hours per day to:
- ~1 hour per week across all clients
“Now I can get it done in an hour every week for all of our clients.”
Real-Time Awareness Instead of Guesswork
