// two-axis profiles of U.S. political figures
Evidence-based two-axis profiles of U.S. political figures. Every score — ideology and democratic-norms risk — traces back to a direct quote, policy position, or official action, with the source cited inline. Cross-subject scatter plus per-figure dossiers.
- > Eight democratic-norms axes + per-issue ideology scale
- > Profiles are hand-reviewed JSON against a versioned schema
- > Methodology page renders the rubric directly from source
> the rubric
Every figure is scored on two axes. Ideology is a per-issue average (economic, social, foreign-policy, civil liberties, etc.) on a left-right scale. Democratic-norms risk is the average of eight axes: peaceful transfer of power, free press, independent judiciary, electoral integrity, minority rights, separation of powers, anti-corruption, and rule of law.
Each score traces back to a direct quote, policy position, or official action with the source cited inline. Profiles are hand-reviewed JSON conforming to a versioned schema; the methodology page renders the rubric directly from that schema so the rubric and the scores cannot drift.
> what it isn’t
- >Not a sentiment-of-the-week tracker. Scores move only when reviewed evidence changes.
- >Not anonymous. Every reviewer assertion is footnoted to a public source.
- >Not exhaustive. Coverage is depth-over-breadth; the figure roster grows deliberately.
