A beta transparency terminal that aggregates official data about Brazilian legislators, executives, public spending, mandates, and political profiles.

Why it surfaced

Rastro makes its evidentiary chain unusually visible, linking to the Portal da Transparência, congressional and Senate spending data, TSE records, and TCU decisions. It also states its limits plainly: the aggregation may contain delays or errors, and official sources should prevail—a useful piece of accountability infrastructure rather than a claim to be the authority.
