The Capture Risk Score is a composite 0–100 index measuring potential regulatory capture of elected officials. It is computed from seven weighted components:
| Component | Weight | Signal |
|---|---|---|
| Contradiction Risk | 30% | Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted) |
| Donor Influence | 20% | Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count |
| Connection Density | 20% | Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded |
| Silence Risk | 15% | Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent |
| Intelligence Volume | 15% | Documented facts from verified sources |
| Constituency Deviation | 0% | Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record |
| Voting Misalignment | 0% | Shown, not weighted — needs platform commitments almost nobody has; the roll-call record on /votes is the vote signal |
Each component is the member's standing among all scored members of Congress, and the weighted sum is the overall score. Tiers are ranks: Critical is the top 5%, High the next 10%, Elevated the next 20%, Moderate the next 30%, and Low the rest.
Officials without at least 2 documented facts, 1 contradiction analysis, 1 voting record, or 1 constituency baseline are marked Insufficient Evidence and excluded from numeric ranking.
Contradiction findings from the last 180 days receive a recency boost. High-severity contradictions (score ≥ 70) receive additional weight.
Full methodology: /congress/methodology
Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.
Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.
Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.
Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.
All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
