METHODOLOGY
Insights are generated by pattern detectors that cross-reference voting records, bill sponsorships, and FEC donor data. The significance score (0–100%) ranks how strongly each pattern stands out from the norm — from the size of the money, lobbying, and vote alignment involved. A higher score means more notable, not more wrongdoing. Narratives are written by TrailAI (powered by Anthropic) with strict constraints: no causal language, no editorializing, facts only. All underlying data is sourced from FEC public records and Congress.gov.
