Links between records are inferred by a model and are not reviewed by a person. Each link shows its score out of 1; moderate-confidence links (0.7 to 0.9) are wrong more often than high-confidence links. How links are scored
What this is
- RegistrationA lobbyist registers who they lobby for and on what subject.
- CommunicationEach contact with a member of council, their staff or City staff is logged.
- Agenda itemlobbyTO links registrations to the council items they concern, with a confidence score.
- VoteThe item page shows how each member voted and whether their office was contacted.
The Lobbyist Registry records who communicated with which public office holder, when, and about what subject. It does not record which council decision a communication concerns. lobbyTO infers those links, labels each with its confidence, and publishes the evidence. It reports dated records and measured patterns, not intent.
