Rows marked roll calls (and 2017–21 votes before 2021): Before 2021 a member's vote is on record only when Council took a roll call, which the minutes print; those are the votes a member asked to record, mostly contested ones.

Not yet collected for this person: campaign commitments. A gap in the collected evidence is not evidence that none exist.

Only reviewed policy choices are scored. Each independent decision family counts once per measure; choices within one budget or policy package share that family’s weight. statements, promises, absences and contextual amendments do not contribute. Two decisions are the minimum for a position. The sensitivity range shows the score after removing one decision at a time; it is not a statistical confidence interval or a prediction.
