In the lab
What we're building next, from the lab's ranked list.
Days Apart (concept): One disclosed trade, one official act by a committee that member sits on, and the number of days between them. Dates and documents only; the reader does the arithmetic on what it means.
The Honest Index (concept): The "did Congress beat the market?" chart, with what the disclosures cannot show (dollar ranges, 30 to 45 day lags, missing filings) drawn on it.
The Early Money (building): When the odds moved before the announcement: prediction-market price and volume histories laid against the receipted timeline of official acts. Markets and dollars only, never traders. The reader does the arithmetic.
