The Lacuna Project

Data

Three tables built from the same registers as the reports. Every row cites the exhibits it rests on, and nothing appears here that is not already in a chapter.

Revolving-door ledger

13 documented moves between public and private roles, with each position and its dates.

Money flows

122 documented awards, grants, fees, contracts and lobbying spend, drawn as a map of connected payers and recipients and listed in a table. A row is a flow in the record, not a claim that a given dollar travelled from one party to another.

Entities

Every institution and official named in the record, with the exhibits, findings, positions and money flows that mention each.

Document vault

A SHA-256 hash of every exhibit source as fetched, so a changed or vanished page can be detected.

Missing records

The records that would settle a claim and are documented as withheld, sealed, destroyed or never produced, with what each would settle.

Timeline

1281 exhibits placed on one dated line, oldest first.
