How this microsite is built.
The 559-page convention workbook is parsed into structured records: 374 overtures for 2026, 279 overtures from 2023, eight floor committees, and the workbook reports that frame the floor’s decisions. Every record is checked against the published document and every cross-reference resolved.
The data is the source of truth, and the articles are the output. Every overture number cited in any article on this site resolves to a record in the underlying dataset. If a citation does not resolve, the build fails. Drift between editorial copy and the floor record is not allowed.
Coverage is opinion and protected commentary, not adjudicated investigative reporting. Read the Terms of Service for the full editorial and legal stance.
