Area: Full Workup (one official, all sections) (eo_full_workup)
Filed: 2026-05-02T23:58:10.632Z
Source: External LLM via /handoff/congress (attempt #78131)
Resolved official: Mark E. Amodei (entity #11162)
Ingest result: 26 facts · 27 sources · 2 silences · 2 contradictions · 5 voting_records · 3 skipped
Single super-prompt covering every per-official research area in one LLM call: donor mapping, silences, contradictions, telling votes, and constituency baseline. The LLM returns ONE JSON object; the ingest pipeline dispatches each section to its typed table independently, so a malformed or no-data section never blocks the rest.
I see that I've read 5 research prompt files for additional congressional officials. Let me check if there are any remaining prompts or if I need to process these.
Research prompt found for Mark E. Amodei (NV-02). Conducting the full workup now.
Now I have sufficient data to compile the research. Let me structure this into the required JSON format:
