Honesty note. Every position carries a source, a confidence, and an as-of date. Answers flagged inferred are AI- or estimate-derived, came through review, and are never presented as fact. The maps, alignment, and agenda all derive from these sourced answers. The “aligns with you” number is your own weighting — not a recommendation of who to vote for.
