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.

Votes, statements, promises and action milestones retain distinct labels. Dates preserve source precision; undated records appear last. Different proposals can explain different choices; a changed vote is not automatically a changed belief.
Statements and reasons for votes
No sourced statements collected
This is a gap in the collected evidence; it does not establish a person’s views.
Published statements are attributed to their author and kept separate from recorded votes.
Promises and actions
No sourced commitments collected
A missing commitment is not a finding that someone made no promises.
Milestones describe the evidence collected. Adoption, an individual vote and implementation are different events; a missing milestone is not proof that a promise was broken.
Policy leadership
No documented leadership entries collected
Sponsorship and committee appointments require an explicit source; a Yes vote alone does not establish either.
Appointment records do not establish continued service beyond their sourced term. Authorship and sponsorship require explicit documentation.
