Depends

Large government-affairs teams needing deep legislative coverage, advocacy tools, and APIs can still get value — but demand short contract terms given the NYSE delisting and going-concern warning.

Deep enterprise policy platform, but delisting and going-concern warnings make multi-year deals risky; small teams should look elsewhere.
