FederalVoice publishes three profile-level civic scores to make comparisons easier.
Scores are directional signals, not predictions.
Score inputs come from the scorecard vote window in member activity snapshots (for example, a full Congress window), not from the 12 recent votes shown in profile UI.
1. Transparency Score (0-100)
Higher score indicates broader disclosure and lower concentration risk in available filing signals.
Formula components:
- Individual funding share (weight 45%)
- Attendance score (weight 25%)
- Inverse outside-spending pressure (weight 20%)
- Filing coverage signal (weight 10%)
2. Influence Score (0-100)
Higher score indicates stronger concentration of funding pressure from outside spending and large-source channels.
Formula components:
- Outside spending vs receipts ratio (weight 40%)
- Top-source concentration proxy (employer/occupation share) (weight 35%)
- Inverse individual share (weight 25%)
3. Election Vulnerability Score (0-100)
Higher score indicates weaker cash cushion plus higher external pressure in current-cycle finance context.
Formula components:
- Inverse cash buffer (cash on hand vs receipts) (weight 40%)
- Outside spending pressure (weight 35%)
- Inverse party-line stability proxy (weight 25%)
Important Limitations
- Scores depend on currently available public filings and may shift after new reports.
- Missing values are treated conservatively and can reduce score precision.
- Historical coverage is uneven; comparisons are strongest for current federal legislators.
