Methodology

From public filing to source-linked brief.

Epieme does four things: collect, classify, normalize, and point back to the official source. The summary helps you move faster. The source remains authoritative.

Use Epieme to find the record. Use the source to verify it.

Collect Classify Normalize Verify

Pipeline

Four checks before a record lands in Radar.

  1. 01

    Collect

    Public bills, state pages, and petition records.

  2. 02

    Classify

    Patient-safety terms and exclusion rules remove noise.

  3. 03

    Normalize

    Status, title, committee, source, and timing line up.

  4. 04

    Verify

    The linked source remains the record to trust.

Record view

Less dashboard. More source path.

A useful record answers three questions quickly: what changed, where did it come from, and what should be checked next.

  • What changed Status, title, hearing, or vote.
  • Where to verify Legislature or petition page.
  • Next check Committee, sponsor, or source update.

Limits

Useful, but not final.

Not a risk score

Counts show where to look, not what to conclude.

Not legal advice

Source review and appropriate expertise still matter.

Not the source

Public pages can change. The official record wins.

Questions

Quick checks.

Where does the data come from?

Public legislative records, state source pages, and petition records when a tracker item includes one.

What counts as patient safety?

Patient rights, hospital accountability, staffing, informed consent, care quality, and medical error reporting.

How do I report an error?

Send the record URL and source link to team@epieme.org.
