Methodology after the signal
Each index answers one question with one number.
Vote-Scope indexes are named instruments, not dashboards. Each carries a single question, a transparent methodology, a live score updated on a documented cadence, and a historical record.
- The Lame-Duck Index (LDI) is a 0–100 composite of presidential approval, economic drag, congressional margin distribution, and prediction-market odds — 4 components, updated daily.
- All index scores are produced from public source data: BLS, Federal Reserve, polling aggregators, and Polymarket. Sources are documented at each instrument page.
- Index methodology pages are public and versioned. When the model changes, the changelog is published alongside the updated score.
- Historical scores are archived in the public JSON at each desk. No scores are revised retroactively without a documented correction notice.
