Field notes
The homepage lists a California November 2026 election with four measures marked draft, plus a separate synthetic demo. Its stated method limits analysis to official measure text, maps passages against a fixed value list, and quotes clauses for each claim; campaign filings and public endorsements appear separately as context on funders, supporters, and opponents. The project says it uses several AI models and publishes prompts, replies, and scripts, but the supplied extract does not include a measure-level analysis to inspect.
