We publish corrections in the working papers themselves — including corrections that weaken our own findings — and we publish null results when the data exonerates. Where our numbers have been checked against contemporaneous press reporting of the same filings, they have matched to the dollar; where a result failed our own verification, we withheld it and said so in the paper. Methodology, sources, and the verification protocol live at /research. Find an error we missed? The press desk wants it.
Building with AI? Our llms.txt maps every citable surface for assistants and agents, with per-paper summaries designed to be quoted accurately.
Our research desk publishes new data investigations continuously — congressional margin borrowing, forced cabinet divestitures, directional attack-money, insider cross-referencing. Before a new working paper goes on the public site, we can offer it to one outlet as an embargoed first-run exclusive: the finding, the dataset, the methodology, and our re-verification on your publication date. Your story runs first; the paper publishes after with a pointer to your coverage. Email press@govgreed.com with your beat and we'll match you to what's in the pipeline.
The fastest paths from question to receipt — no login needed for any of these:
"Did [member] trade [stock]?" — /congress → click the member → every disclosed trade, committee seat, donor and late filing on one page, each row citing its federal filing.
"Who in Congress trades [company]?" — /ticker?t=TICKER → every member who disclosed it, plus the lobbying, PAC money, and bills around the company.
"What's the money around MY story?" — paste your draft into the Money Map → it extracts the states, companies and sectors, then maps the PAC money, employee donations, trades and committee seats around them.
"Who filed late this week?" — /data/late-filings → the newest STOCK Act violations, gap days computed from the filings themselves.
We'll email you a magic link. No password. If your outlet's domain is on our press whitelist, you'll be auto-approved for the press tier.
Tell us your outlet and the reporters you want set up. We'll provision free press accounts and email each person a sign-in link. No card, no catch — just credit GovGreed when you use the data.
