How You Evaluate Candidates in 3 Steps

A structured pipeline connecting Your priorities to verifiable public record evidence.

Step 1

Define what You care about

Select issues and weight what matters most. No ideological labels — the system reflects Your values, not platform-defined categories.

Step 2

See who acts on it

We analyze votes, bill sponsorship, committee influence, and legislative outcomes — mapped against Your stated priorities.

Step 3

Verify the evidence

Every score links to bill text and public sources. Assumptions are visible. Nothing is hidden in the methodology.

What this unlocks

Personalized Accountability

Evaluate candidates based on Your priorities — not generic scorecards designed for someone else's framework.

Transparent Scoring

Every alignment result links directly to source material. You can inspect the evidence behind any conclusion the system produces.

No Editorial Layer

Rankings reflect Your own framework applied to public record data — not editorial judgment, algorithmic recommendations, or platform-curated priorities.

The Accountability Stack is currently in prototype development. Outputs reflect the current state of model logic and will evolve as the system is refined.

A Legibility Gap — Not a Motivation Gap

Most people aren't apathetic. They're overloaded. Congress introduces thousands of bills each session. Most never reach a vote. Power shows up in what gets stalled, amended, or quietly dropped.

CivAlign makes those hidden outcomes legible — so You can evaluate candidates by what they did, not what they said.

Volume Without Structure

The information exists. The synthesis layer does not. Legislative activity exceeds any individual's practical capacity to monitor without dedicated infrastructure.

Invisible Procedural Action

Committee holds, scheduling choices, and motions to table are documented in the public record but rarely surface in standard civic reporting.

Translation Requires Expertise

Converting raw legislative records into personally relevant assessments requires time, knowledge, and analytical capacity most people don't have.

What This Unlocks

Personalized Accountability

Evaluate candidates based on Your priorities — not generic scorecards designed for someone else's framework.

Transparent Scoring

Every alignment result links directly to source material. You can inspect the evidence behind any conclusion the system produces.

Scalable Civic Clarity

Lower the cost of becoming a high-information voter. Structural tools — not communication campaigns — rebuild civic capacity.

Every Score Is Traceable to Source

Alignment outputs are not summaries or opinions. Each score links directly to specific legislation, votes, and bill text from the public record.

  • Bill text, session, and status sourced from the public record
  • Every alignment score linked to specific legislative actions
  • Impact ratings derived from Your-weighted outcomes, not editorial judgment

You can inspect the source behind any conclusion the system produces.
