The bench of governments
Thirty-five people who can sign something, and the seven whose words are documented on the record.
Government figures are the most consequential people in the collection and the hardest to cite. Their speeches are transcribed, but the sentence that matters often appears only in a pool report or a webcast that nobody archived.
The ledger keeps a separate count for government people and for government people whose claims are genuinely cited, because the gap between those two numbers is the honest description of how much of the state's forecasting is checkable.
