Derived Policy-Action Observations

A public observation layer derived from reporting—not a definitive roster of official acts. Records are grouped by underlying source event so one article mentioning several people is not counted several times. Irrelevant political coverage and unsourced records are withheld; inspect the source before relying on an observation.

DerivedOne row per source event. People mentioned in the same report are grouped; effect is an analytical classification, not a claim about motive.
