Bill Text Stats
Affected Sectors
How to read this
Sectors are deterministic matches from official Congress.gov data and cached bill text. They are source-derived signals, not conclusions about intent or economic effect.
Evidence matches count official fields, normalized subjects, cached text snippets, or extracted entities that matched the sector rules.
Impact is a bill-level rollup used for sorting and filtering. It is not an economic impact estimate.
Confidence is the strongest individual match score behind that sector.
Evidence snippets show why a sector matched and can repeat when Congress.gov repeats the same phrase across official fields.
