Every item tracked by this site is sourced from a specific public record: a county or municipal meeting agenda, published minutes, a state or federal regulatory filing, or a linked news article. Each item links to its original source document.
The “Transparency Score” is not a rating of any company, project, or individual — it measures how much of a defined set of factual categories (cooling method, estimated water draw, wastewater discharge plan, and disclosure of any confidentiality agreement) is stated in the public record versus absent from it, as of the date shown. A low score reflects an information gap in the public record, not a judgment about the underlying project.
This tool does not access non-public information, does not solicit or publish leaked or confidential material, and does not accept or process any content obtained in violation of a nondisclosure agreement. Where a public record itself states that an NDA governs certain terms, that fact is reported as stated in the record.
This site runs mostly on automation - documents are fetched and summarized by an AI reading real public records - and I'm one person building it. Mistakes will happen: a summary can misread a document, a field can get mis-extracted, a date or number can come out wrong. When that happens, I want to know and I want to fix it.
If you spot something wrong, email dougconrad@c3studios.net or use the Contact page and tell me what's off and where you saw it. I review corrections personally, update the record directly once I've confirmed it, and aim to do that promptly - this isn't a large team with a formal review queue, just me checking it by hand. If a correction is genuinely disputed rather than a clear error, I'll say so rather than silently changing it either way.
