A computed proxy from disclosed records (donations, meetings, lobbying presence, flagged gaps), not a measure of wrongdoing. Counts are a disclosed floor, drawn only from published records we have ingested.

205 of 261 records here link to a disclosed source document; the rest are from ingested datasets with the per-record source link still pending. Coverage
