What is related,
and how.
Undercurrent brings separately published U.S. government records — bills, votes, members, committees, lobbying and campaign finance, financial disclosures, oversight and budget reports — into one normalized store. It resolves them to shared canonical entities, then draws the cross-source relationships no single source exposes.
The integration is the signal: a connected graph of legislative activity, influence and money, assembled from the official government record only.

03Approach
Context you can
trace back.
A connection gives you a place to look. The original record gives you something to examine. Records are joined on the identifiers their publishers assign — bill numbers, member ids, package ids — never on a guess at a name, and each connection keeps its basis in view.
- 01 Connection two records that share an identifier, linked
- 02 Basis the identifier and the sources it joins, kept in view
- 03 Related material connected records that add context across sources
- 04 Original record the official publication, as its source issued it
$ every trace ends at the publisher, not at undercurrent
