Accountability file
A public-record case file for correlating official House and Senate financial disclosures with source-diverse news clusters, SEC issuer reference data, SEC filings, and congressional action dates. It treats timing overlap as a review question, not evidence of insider trading or corruption.
65A3 4328 1133This shows the case file's most significant public-record connections only — see the Role Web and Timeline tabs for the full set. A line means a record connects two points; it is not a finding about conduct.
These are the standards every anchor on this file must clear.
A public official, asset, issuer, article, or bill appearing in a shared timeline is correlation evidence only and does not imply corruption or insider trading.
Every public-record role in this file, grouped by kind. Open a role to read its dossier — its public-record status, what it is, and the exact records that name it. A shared record naming two roles is not a finding about conduct beyond that record.

It affirms that Members and employees of Congress are not exempt from securities-law insider-trading prohibitions, creates a periodic transaction reporting duty, and directs the House and Senate to publish covered financial disclosure forms online.
Statutory text establishes reporting duties and publication deadlines. It does not establish that any filer traded on nonpublic information, and a late, amended, or missing filing is a disclosure question rather than a finding of insider trading.market referenceSEC EDGAR company facts and ticker metadataU.S. Securities and Exchange CommissionOfficial SEC API documentation for company facts and ticker-to-CIK reference data.

Coverage-index rows describe what outlets are reporting, not whether an underlying claim is true.baselineClaim rows are derived from timeline events and source anchors. They are evidence-status labels, not accusations or final truth claims.
Release requests are lawful public-record asks. They identify source gaps, review gates, and privacy constraints; they are not evidence that a specific person committed wrongdoing.
Deliberate gaps in the public record — open until the underlying records are released or reviewed, not questions we have skipped.

Source leads and automated probes are review inventory. They become verified anchors only after Hugin can attach the public record, legal posture, and no-allegation guardrails.
These are not loose TODOs anymore. Each lane below is computed from the case file's source tiers, then joined to matching sources, timeline events, role nodes, and release-roadmap requests.
Resolve asset descriptions and ticker symbols to SEC CIK, issuer legal name, and exchange before joining to news, filing, or litigation-release timelines.
Attach SEC litigation releases to issuer/person review windows by release number, respondent, publication date, complaint or judgment link, and legal posture.
Attach source-diverse news windows to official disclosure rows as review questions only.
Cache official report URLs and parse member, filing date, transaction date, asset description, amount range, and ticker where available.

Hugin accepts public records, not accusations. A submitted URL lands in a review lane, gets source-validated, and only becomes a case anchor after the evidence rules and privacy gates are satisfied.
Fact-check status is a review posture, not a verdict. Source-scout rows are leads until a reviewer joins them to publishable anchors; claim-ledger rows are timeline-derived and still require source validation plus no-allegation guardrails before promotion.
Paste an official or public-record URL. Hugin classifies the lane first, keeps lead-only material quarantined, and requires source validation before anything reaches the case file.
Queue a public source for review.Sanitized queue view: Hugin shows the public URL, lane, status, and why a source has not been promoted. Submitter identifiers are not shown.
A source is a public URL someone else can inspect. A claim is an interpretation. Hugin queues sources first and keeps claims out until a reviewed public record supports the exact wording.
Official agency pages, court dockets, congressional releases, civil records, state updates, and public repositories with source URLs.
Publisher, date, record family, and why the URL belongs in this file.
Source URLs first. Context is welcome, but claims do not publish from submissions alone.

Screenshots or social posts without a public source URL.
Misconduct labels for living people unless the exact cited public record supports that exact statement.
