How scoring works

We score what members do, never their party or ideology. Every member of Congress gets ranked from public record according to neutral, objective data such as: bills, votes, amendments, and roll-call votes.

Point values are weighted by how rare and how hard an action is: outcomes like clearing committee, passing a chamber, or becoming law are worth far more than volume actions like casting votes or cosponsoring bills. Bulk actions are capped: only a member's first few introductions and cosponsorships each week score points (the caps are listed below). Every week, past and present, is scored under the current rubric.
