The reviewer panel, in the open.
Who reviews our data, what each of them disclosed about their own politics, and how we keep the panel balanced. We publish it because a scorecard earns trust by being open about bias, not by claiming to have none.
Target composition · self-rated lean
We recruit toward an even split across left, center, and right, and check the balance as the panel grows. The bars show the target we balance against. They are not a live count; the founding panel is still being seated.
The roster
We publish every reviewer’s field, affiliation, and self-rated lean, anonymized to a reviewer ID, so you can see who checks the work and where they stand.
The panel is forming
The founding roster goes live here as seats are filled. Until then, we won't publish a count we can't stand behind.
Balance is kept seat by seat.
Opposite-pairs recruiting
We add reviewers in balancing pairs. When the panel tilts, the next seats go to the side that is short.
Self-rated, then published
Everyone rates their own lean before serving, and that rating is public on this page. No hidden politics.
Averaged across groups
Every score averages a left, a center, and a right review, so no single group can set the number.
