Scoring methodology
The accountability score measures cross-investigation visibility, not wrongdoing. A high score means the entity appears across multiple public record datasets spanning different accountability domains.
The Accountability Index identifies entities that surface in two or more Public Ledger investigations. An organization receiving IDA subsidies that also appears in Capitol Trades, EPA enforcement records, and FARA registrations has a broader public accountability footprint than one appearing in a single dataset.
This index draws from 13 investigation sources spanning four categories: public money, patient safety, environmental enforcement, and governing. The scoring methodology rewards cross-category breadth — entities touching subsidies, healthcare, environmental regulation, and political trading simultaneously receive higher scores than those concentrated in a single domain.
All data is derived from public records. The index is rebuilt each time the entity hub is refreshed. Download the full dataset as CSV.
