| Evidence | Definition | Integrity |
|---|---|---|
| financial bases CSV ↓ financial-bases-v1 | Reported subtype amounts, not an additive grand total across accounting bases. | 38eb1af1314239ef9589810450f3e473ab097811e6c1042e457a29f4c67cb1c0 |
| committees CSV ↓ committees-v1 | Committee-reported flows within the observed interval, not campaign-cycle totals or balances. | 9cccea063f4a84d23acbbf07161467ccdd5e8d537fe4170cf4cf11311dbbef85 |
| disclosure CSV ↓ disclosure-v1 | Aggregate and anonymous categories remain amounts, never donor identities. | 2c6ce5f9d06ea386bd7d99c5ded74c5dde6ece05d05708fb35faa2b2ba7404c1 |
| donor record groups CSV ↓ donor-record-groups-v1 | Gross cash contribution totals for conservative record groups. Not verified unique people. Includes authoritative committee sources separately identifiable by ID. | aa7e9595f230423d561aa974f307c93573fcb58f6788a7a01ef1a2ba90482886 |
| donor committee CSV ↓ donor-committee-v1 | Within-committee cumulative cash giving. Aggregate dollars cannot be allocated back to identified donors. | 39c3298043af14688c81719db8a297ea3d50b32045e304319062cd8b7fc97267 |
| dependency CSV ↓ dependency-v1 | HHI, Gini and effective number among visible record groups; sensitivity bounds assign unidentified cash to infinitely diffuse sources or the largest visible source. Top-group removal is hypothetical forgone receipts, not cash runway. | 4c02d2fef51da5b08f630ead7d999c1946d11a38af53fa833f8afe5d7bc4092a |
| geography CSV ↓ geography-v1 | Reported counterparty state, not donor residence verification or district location; unknown kept in denominator. | 80af259ccc4beeba9700b25806cab3b4469e5b333a3249251f136b6e3b05680a |

| payee record groups CSV ↓ payee-record-groups-v1 | Noncommittee cash payees; includes reimbursements, intermediaries and pass-throughs, not verified vendor earnings. | 27062ea94866c28827ddcd351ce638e93a38b14e6845abb93de8b51722a556d6 |
| purpose bundles CSV ↓ purpose-bundles-v1 | Multivalued purpose-code combinations kept intact so a payment is not counted in several categories. | f456eef5dd9f6db00f95635b526b0f8e0976b5c47cad0d832e9d86321ffc19c7 |
| monthly CSV ↓ monthly-v1 | Transaction-date activity, not filing-date arrivals. September 2026 ends on the 27th and is incomplete. | d8204aa7c81e6492007e62c102bcf454dc462f0752edde61d8ba4dff627fe10f |
| filing lag CSV ↓ filing-lag-v1 | Current-version filed date minus transaction date. Amended rows do not reveal the initial disclosure date. Neither distribution establishes statutory lateness. | f9deec29bee1e528b996812660230b423cb972d157c09eafa81e9a0e5337f822 |
| matched transfers CSV ↓ matched-transfers-v1 | Unique reciprocal committee IDs, equal positive amount and same date. Both transaction IDs retained; candidate matches are not proof of an association recorded by ORESTAR. | 8f861e159d2f26a2e14f93fce882d1897e68193d1dcf94bec1cce452a8f7ed5b |
| ambiguous transfers CSV ↓ ambiguous-transfers-v1 | Reciprocal IDs and equal amount within seven days but not uniquely same-day matched; excluded from strict circulation deduction. | 1c7a4b629a98e55b2d61f89e59389386f8ae9673f9af7b1c9482b8d83db43b5d |
| network boundary CSV ↓ network-boundary-v1 | An observed-network boundary classification, not ultimate donor attribution. No committee ID does not prove a noncommittee origin. | d24d67e4b0faba2c56ce5514d0a59243c181eb234eb5e71461b0249fdb3b077d |

| missingness CSV ↓ missingness-v1 | Blank fields across transaction families; field applicability differs, so these are not violation counts. | 00784c8c16eeb1f037878c7a6c8cd2dc6c199ba32994556128e89a835dc31ee8 |

Sensitivity and independent-spending evidence
Eight concentration scenarios · Maximum candidate transfer matching · Flagged independent-spending records · Reported support/oppose allocations · Detail coverage and reconciliation
The independent flag does not establish complete outside-spending coverage. Reported target labels require reviewed race links; transaction amounts and allocated parts can differ.
Earlier statewide exploratory network analysis
435 shared-source pair tests · Null model, seeds, scope and diagnostics
The selected subgraph is not the universe of all campaigns; unitemized donors are excluded. A small exploratory p-value does not establish coordination.
Official records and reconciliation
