Alignment estimate

How this is computed

Each comparable issue gets an agreement from 0 to 1: 1 minus the distance between your direction and the record direction divided by 4. Your importance rating and the record's confidence weight each issue before a weighted mean becomes the alignment estimate.

Issues are skipped when there is no record, no coded position, or you skipped the issue. Directions are human-coded against a published per-issue axis and marked needs review until checked by a second person.

This is an alignment estimate of the public record against your stated positions, not an instruction about how to vote or a claim about why anyone voted. Read the methodology.
