## Description

Public hearings are high-stakes environments where timing and organization matter. If you go over your allotted time or fail to submit evidence correctly, your input might be ignored. This MCP gives your AI client the specific tools needed to prepare for these moments. You can turn raw facts into a spoken-word script that fits exactly within your time limit, ensuring you get your point across without being cut off. Instead of handing over a messy pile of documents, you can use this to structure your data into a formal list for submission. It also takes the guesswork out of the bureaucracy by generating checklists for attendance and submission steps, and drafting questions to help you clarify logistics with agency staff. It's about making sure your preparation is as professional and organized as the officials you are addressing.
