Documented relationships
A factual registry of documented relationships drawn from the public record — currently, members who sit on a committee that oversees a market sector they have disclosed trading in. This is context, not a conclusion: a documented relationship is not evidence of wrongdoing. Committee assignments, oversight jurisdiction, and STOCK Act trade disclosures are all public and legal; this simply puts them side by side, with sources.
Coverage: two signal types are live today — committee oversight ↔ disclosed trading, and committee oversight ↔ campaign money from industry PACs (PAC industry is approximated, and only members with an FEC candidate id on file are covered). A third — voting aligned with donors/lobbying — is not shown because the underlying vote-direction data isn't yet classified; we leave it out rather than synthesize a number we can't source. Sector coverage is partial, so real totals may be higher.
