The rules we ship by

Four rules. Each one enforced by the product, not the policy.

Most neutrality promises live in a press release. Ours live in the component library — so they hold up under every commit.

PRINCIPLE · 01

Equal weight, equal length.

Every pro argument ships next to an opposing argument of equal prominence. Neither side gets the last word. The UI is literally split 50/50 — and the layout engine snaps it back when someone tries to tip it.

Data, not adjectives.

We count votes. We cite the CBO. We link the committee markup. We never tell you a bill is "controversial" or "far-reaching" — we tell you who it affects and by how much.

Deliberate refusal · not a missing step

We stop where you start.

Every answer presents the issue, the provision, the supporter case at full strength, the opponent case at full strength, and the historical context. Then it hands the decision to you. You get the information required to form a view — the bill text, who benefits, who's affected, the precedent, the vote record. You don't get a nudge toward a side. Citizenship isn't delegated to an algorithm. Mandate informs. You decide.
