Corrections & error reports

Every number CIV.IQ publishes comes from a government record — Congress.gov, the FEC, USASpending, the House Clerk, and the other sources listed on each page — with its own “as of” date. When something looks wrong, report it. We check the claim against the underlying record, fix what's broken, and log the correction here permanently.

Report an error

Include the page URL, the number or statement that looks wrong, and — if you have it — the source you're comparing against. Reports are public, and so is what we do with them.

Report a data error on GitHub →

No GitHub account? Every data page also links its methodology and sources so you can verify any number against the government record directly.

How reports are handled

  1. The claim is checked against the primary government source — not against another aggregator.
  2. If the data is wrong, the fix ships and the correction is logged below with what was wrong, where, and for how long.
  3. If the data is right but confusing, the presentation gets a methodology note instead — confusion is a bug too.
  4. If a government source itself is wrong or stale, the page notes the discrepancy rather than silently “fixing” official data.
