A public accountability hub tracking Arizona health officials, legislators, campaign money, and votes — built on a schema that refuses to publish an unsourced claim.
The site makes pointed, named claims about real public officials, so credibility is the entire product. The problem was to build an accountability platform where a factual claim about a named person cannot reach the public page unless it carries a source — enforced structurally, not by editorial willpower alone.
Built on the AzDesign framework and the generic content engine. Officials, a full ninety-member legislature roster, per-cycle campaign-money records, sponsored bills, and letter-grade assessments each live in their own sourced tables. The schema encodes the editorial rule: a sourced-record row requires a source reference, and case documents are served only when explicitly marked reviewed and published. A network layer ties the site to its sibling accountability projects, and a data-driven sitemap keeps it discoverable.
A live hub where every dollar figure, bill, and grade is anchored to a shown source or is not published at all — a no-fabrication standard enforced by the database itself, with a public methodology page that explains how the grades are reached.
