PLATE Nº 03 · RESEARCH

One workspace. Every disbursement.

UNIFIED FED + CA + TX · CSV EXPORT

The same set of filters works uniformly across federal FEC, California Secretary of State, and Texas Ethics Commission data. Search down to the line item; export the result; share the URL.

The /research workspace with the filter panel extended — FEC schedule, jurisdiction, service category, disbursement type, race type, scope, amount and date controls visible beside a live results table.

Uniform filtering, end-to-end.

The same facets apply across every record — federal filings, California, Texas. No switching tools to cross a jurisdiction.

Spending-side focus.

Most public-record tools center the donor side. Ours centers the recipient: who got the money, what it bought, who else paid them.

Real CSV export.

Multi-thousand-row exports return in seconds, source URLs per row, citation-ready. Not capped at a few hundred behind a paywall.

Canonicalized vendors.

One vendor profile per real entity. "WATERFRONT STRATEGIES, LLC" and "Waterfront Strategies" land on the same page — and the same totals.

PLATE Nº 04 · PEOPLE

The professional class, candidly.

NETWORK · NAME-RESOLVED · LOW-CONFIDENCE TAGGED

Treasurers, agents, consultants — the operational backbone of American campaigns appears on filings as a string of letters next to a dollar amount. We're resolving those strings into people, and tagging each match with a confidence score.

High-confidence matches (re-occurring names, address overlap, role consistency) become person profiles. Lower-confidence matches stay tagged, surface as CONF · MED or CONF · LO, and are flagged for review.

Honest scope, beta: the People hub is the youngest surface on the platform. Name resolution is largely unfinished — many records carry only a name string today. We're showing the ambition, not claiming it's solved. Profile counts grow weekly.
