What this directory helps answer

Where does the reviewed evidence show sustained focus, change between periods, recurring issues, firm-client connections, or a relationship across record systems?

What it currently contains

Published findings appear with confidence, scope, and supporting evidence. Search and directories remain available for checking the underlying records.

Coverage boundary

Findings and search results describe a selected collection, not all federal activity or Washington. Lobbying findings currently cover 2026 Q1 through 2026 Q2.

Gov Influence assessmentModerate confidence

HR 3838's captured procedural record reaches one-chamber passage; its role here is legislative context, not evidence of a policy outcome.

As of 2025-09-30, the captured official action history reaches passage in one chamber. Latest recorded action: Received in the Senate. The bill appears in 1 reviewed issue group and has 1 matched sponsor profile plus 1 approved organization subject reference.

Scope: HR 3838, captured 2025-06-09 through 2025-09-30; current reviewed profile collection
Evidence: 9 reviewed records

Why this finding is supported

The assessment combines the deterministic procedural stage with official sponsor identity and a separately reviewed issue-classification basis. Those facts explain where the measure sits in the captured legislative process and why it appears in this collection, while withholding any claim about future momentum, organizational support or opposition, lobbying causation, success, or policy effect.

Other plausible interpretation: The captured Congress.gov history may be superseded by later official action, and a title, policy area, subject, sponsor, or nearby lobbying reference can explain relevance without showing that any organization took a position or affected the bill.

Boeing has a verified institutional footprint across three separate federal record systems in this collection.

The reviewed collection links Boeing to 24 canonical 2026 lobbying filings, an affiliated political committee with a 2024 reporting cycle, and one Department of Defense award record running from 2023-02-28 to 2031-08-30.

Scope: Selected records spanning 2023–2031, reviewed through September 2026; current reviewed profile collection
Evidence: 27 reviewed records

Why this finding is supported

Exact reviewed identity decisions and two verified relationship edges connect the organization to records in the LDA, FEC, and USAspending systems. Their convergence shows that the same institution appears in several forms of federal activity, but each system measures a different activity and period; the records do not establish exchange, coordination, causation, access, success, or influence.

Other plausible interpretation: The pattern partly reflects the collection design: Boeing was selected because reviewed records were available across these systems, so this footprint should not be treated as a comparison with organizations outside the collection.

Elevate Government Affairs, LLC’s reviewed filing pattern across 2 reviewed clients continued across both quarters, with Copyright/Patent/Trademark recurring.

CPT appears in 4 retained filings across Q1 and Q2; the firm’s profile contains 4 filings and 11 official issue codes.

Scope: 2026 Q1–Q2; current reviewed profile collection
Evidence: 4 reviewed records

Why this finding is supported

The same approved registrant identity appears in canonical client filings in both quarters, and the same official issue code recurs across that span. Together those observations support a bounded assessment of a continuing disclosed filing pattern, while filing cadence and issue codes cannot establish priority, access, position, effectiveness, or policy impact.

Other plausible interpretation: Quarterly LDA reporting cadence and the breadth of the CPT category may account for part of the recurrence; this two-quarter selection does not establish a longer-term pattern or work beyond the retained filings.

Artificial Intelligence, Technology and Data Privacy filing activity was distributed across 4 reviewed organizations, with no single organization accounting for half of the matches.

62 retained filings matched this issue group. Microsoft had the largest count at 25 (40%), and 4 organizations appeared in both quarters.

Scope: 2026 Q1–Q2; current reviewed profile collection
Evidence: 62 reviewed records

Why this finding is supported

Gov Influence uses a transparent majority threshold: one organization must account for at least 50% of matched filings for the pattern to be called concentrated. The leading share is 40%; recurrence across both comparable quarters helps distinguish a sustained collection pattern from a single-quarter cluster. These measures describe filing distribution, not political importance, position, effort, or influence.

Other plausible interpretation: Quarterly filing cadence, organization reporting structure, and the breadth of the official issue codes may shape the distribution; the selected six-organization, two-quarter collection does not establish a longer-term or Washington-wide pattern.

Computer Industry was a sustained component of Meta’s reported federal policy activity in the reviewed period.

CPI appeared in 20 retained filings across both quarters; the full profile spans 15 official issue codes and 30 filings.

Scope: 2026 Q1–Q2; current reviewed profile collection
Evidence: 20 reviewed records

Why this finding is supported

The same official issue code appears in independently filed records in both comparable quarters, so the pattern is broader than a one-time reference. Its recurrence, read alongside the profile’s filing and issue coverage, supports a bounded assessment of sustained attention—not a conclusion about policy position, priority, access, effectiveness, or influence.

Other plausible interpretation: The recurrence may partly reflect the breadth of the official CPI category and the selected two-quarter window; it does not establish a longer-term trend or show that this subject outranked every other concern.

Bernie Sanders's reviewed position combines elected office with a selected committee responsibility in the relevant governmental process.

U.S. Senator for Vermont. Ranking Member of Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions; the selected sponsor record is S 1818.

Scope: Selected official records reviewed through 2026-09-05; current reviewed profile collection
Evidence: 7 reviewed records

Why this finding is supported

The assessment uses only dated official identity, office, selected responsibility or action, and—where applicable—formal bill-sponsor records. Together they explain the person's structural place in the governmental process represented by this packet. They do not support conclusions about private motivation, ideology, personal benefit, coordination, effectiveness, wrongdoing, or policy outcome.

Other plausible interpretation: This deliberately selected packet may omit other duties, legislation, actions, or later changes; institutional position identifies formal responsibility but does not show how the officeholder used it in matters outside the displayed records.

Calculated from recordsHigh confidence

Artificial Intelligence, Technology and Data Privacy had the same matched filing count in both reviewed quarters.

2026-Q1: 31 filings from 4 organizations; 2026-Q2: 31 filings from 4 organizations.

Scope: 2026 Q1–Q2; current reviewed profile collection
Evidence: 62 reviewed records

Why this finding is supported

Each canonical filing is counted once within this issue group when at least one activity carries an included official code. Comparing the same selected organizations and adjacent reporting quarters measures filing frequency only; it does not establish increasing or decreasing political importance, effort, or effect.
