What we do

Our goal

We show what’s in a bill that isn’t about the bill. Every bill, checked the same way, without taking sides.

Our method

  1. Step 1: Read

    We take the bill’s text, official title and official summary from Congress.gov.

  2. Step 2: Check

    An AI model checks each section against the title and summary.

  3. Step 3: Review

    A person reviews every flag before it’s published. Bills sponsored by one party need two reviewers.

  4. Step 4: Publish

    We show the section’s exact text, with a link to the official source.

The check never sees sponsor or party, and the rules are fixed and published. Our neutrality standard · How we decide
