How KBI works
From the source to your inbox
Most of what changes Pennsylvania’s business climate appears first somewhere no one person can watch: a memo, a committee calendar, an agency notice, a hearing stream. We watch it for you.
1
Monitor
Hundreds of public sources every day: legislative filings and memos, committee streams, agency notices, the Pennsylvania Bulletin, press releases and what officials and executives post themselves.
2
Filter
Every item is checked against its original source, summarized in plain language and ranked by its impact on investment and growth in Pennsylvania. Company news, consumer bills and politics for its own sake are left out.
3
Deliver
A ten-minute email every weekday at 7:30 a.m., with a link to every source, before the day’s news cycle starts.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How is KBI different from the news I already read?
We don’t rewrite newspaper or trade-press stories, and we don’t cover politics for its own sake. We monitor what lawmakers, agencies and companies publish directly, keep only what bears on Pennsylvania’s business climate, and report it the next morning.
How soon after a hearing do summaries arrive?
The next morning at 7:30 a.m., as a section of the brief. Hearings-only subscribers receive the same summaries without the daily brief.
Which hearings do you cover?
Streamed or archived meetings of Pennsylvania House and Senate committees, House and Senate policy committee hearings, and Public Utility Commission public meetings. Hearings with no bearing on the business climate are skipped.
What don’t you cover?
Company news that says nothing about the state: product launches, hires, earnings, awards. Consumer and social legislation with no business angle. Health, education and public safety unless they change the cost of operating in Pennsylvania. Anything already in the newspapers.
Can I add hearing summaries later?
Yes. Add them to an existing KBI subscription at any time.
