A band is honest. A single percentage is not.
This page does not tell you who to vote for. It locates how your stated priorities and a candidate’s documented positions move together — then shows a confidence band, never a fake point score like 82. Thin evidence widens the band. Unknown is never disagreement.
Shared-category bands
Match only when resident and verified official share one of the eight. Output is a band, not a fake percentage. Unknown is a hole — never disagreement.

Andy Brown

Your beliefs are not independent of each other.
Issues are connected because they draw on the same underlying values. Wanting a lower tax rate and wanting a larger health department is not hypocrisy — they are two issues loading on the same economic dimension in opposite directions. This graph makes that tension visible instead of flattening it into a left-right score.

The loading matrix
Every band on this site derives from the table below. It is stated openly rather than learned from your behaviour, because a weighting you cannot inspect is just an ideology score with extra steps. Positive means the issue moves with restraint and enforcement; negative with investment and prevention.
