Last contradiction analysis: Never

reversal 60/100

Platform: "Scott voted against H.R. 1319, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, asserting that 'more than 90% of the package is non-COVID spending' and a 'partisan wish list.'"

Vote: on "Scott voted in favor of H.R. 3746, the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, lauding its $30 billion…"

Scott opposed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan as wasteful non-COVID spending in 2021, yet voted in 2023 for the Fiscal Responsibility Act, which locked in approximately $1.8 trillion in uncapped COVID-era spending and only marginally cut future discretionary spending.

reversal 60/100

Platform: "Scott voted against H.R. 3684, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, calling it a 'Trojan horse infrastructure bill' that 'helped pass a key piece of President Biden's socialist agenda.'"

Vote: on "Scott voted in favor of H.R. 3746, the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, lauding its $30 billion…"

Scott condemned the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as a 'Trojan horse' for socialism in 2021, but voted for the Fiscal Responsibility Act in 2023, which preserved and incorporated many of the same infrastructure spending authorizations and permitting reforms he had previously attacked as part of the 'socialist agenda.'

Scoring Methodology

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.

Calculation 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.
