Each dot is a bill. X-axis = conflict-of-interest risk score (0–10), derived by cross-referencing the sponsor's campaign donors with the industries their bill affects. Y-axis = media controversy depth — how much both sides engaged with the bill in coverage. Dot size = public interest (page views). Bills in the top-right had both donor conflicts and polarized media coverage.
Conflict risk: AI analysis cross-referencing sponsor campaign donations (FEC) with industries their bill affects. Media controversy: depth of AI-generated positive + negative media summaries (GPT-4o). Data: TheBillRoom.org • FEC • Congress.gov • GovTrack
