How this is counted

Participation in eligible message claims

Each measure keeps one count unit from numerator through denominator.

D

  • Office participation: 9 offices of 61 offices. Window: party-day 2026-09-23. Method: participation-measures-v1.
  • Publication participation: 9 publications of 88 publications. Window: party-day 2026-09-23. Method: participation-measures-v1.
  • Document-family participation: 7 document families of 82 document families. Window: party-day 2026-09-23. Method: participation-measures-v1.

R

  • Office participation: 0 offices of 42 offices. Window: party-day 2026-09-23. Method: participation-measures-v1.
  • Publication participation: 0 publications of 51 publications. Window: party-day 2026-09-23. Method: participation-measures-v1.
  • Document-family participation: 0 document families of 50 document families. Window: party-day 2026-09-23. Method: participation-measures-v1.

These two bases differ. Office counts come from the day's eligible caucus offices in the nightly symmetry audit; publication counts come from the day's source publications. A joint release is one publication and can carry several offices, so the two never have to agree.

Nightly symmetry audit: nightly symmetry audit. Every distilled claim above is citation-backed.

Repeated phrase observations

This table lists repeated phrase observations, ranked by how many members used the same exact phrase. It is not filtered to coordinated messages, so it can include official names, procedural formulas, and biographical phrasing, not only messages. The sparkline is the phrase's 14-day trajectory.

Each party’s own most-synchronized phrases, ranked within the party so the larger caucus can’t fill the table — every count travels with its caucus denominator.

Each table is one party measured against that party's own caucus, so row counts are not comparable across the two. Differences in how much each party publishes are measured in the nightly symmetry audit, not here. See the nightly symmetry audit.
