UnGovr Oversight

A family of oversight observatories. Each one takes an opaque corner of government, documents it jurisdiction by jurisdiction using public records, and scores the oversight structures that govern it — on a consistent method, so the corners can be compared. Some members are live sites today; others are in development here in Labs.

One method across the family. Every member is built on publicly available information and on public records, in the mix each subject calls for. Where the published record answers the question, members cite it; where it is silent, they ask, and every request stays within the law for its jurisdiction, using UnGovr's records-law analysis at law.ungovr.org/records/us Each member reports what it finds and scores the oversight structures that exist; none of them argues a position.
