  "summary": "J. French Hill stated \"Hill's top career contributor is Stephens Inc at $433,140, followed by Bank of New York Mellon ($50,000 in the 2024 cycle alone). His leadership PAC is named In the Arena PAC.\" (2024-12-31) but the contradicting evidence shows \"Hill voted in favour of H.R.4763 (FIT21) when the bill passed the House on 22 May 2024 with bipartisan support.\" (2024-05-22). Time delta: unknown days. Gain: Hill's top career donors are banking-sector incumbents; his vote for FIT21 reorganised the digital-asset regulatory regime in a way that materially benefits incumbent banks competing with Coinbase Custody for institutional crypto custody mandates..",
  "methodology": "Contradictions are detected by pairing two facts about the same entity where the stated claim and the contradicting evidence are logically incompatible. Each side is sourced independently with confidence tiers (primary/secondary/inferential). The time delta and gain category are assessed by curators. Attribution status: \"documented\".",
