CivicaPR scorecards are built only from public records. Every indicator is a real, traceable figure; where we compute a derived index, the formula is shown in plain language and is pure arithmetic — never a subjective grade or a model-generated number. When the data cannot support an honest measure, we say so and show facts instead of inventing a score.

Contractor (entity) scorecards

From U.S. federal contract awards (USASpending.gov):

• Total public funding — sum of award amounts received.
• Contracts — number of awards on record.
• Funding agencies — distinct federal agencies that awarded contracts.
• Largest award share — the biggest single award as a percent of total funding.
• Award Concentration Index (0–100) — the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index of award amounts: the sum of each award's squared share of total funding, times 100. A value of 100 means a single award; lower values mean funding is spread across more awards. This is a neutral measure of concentration, not a judgment of conduct.

Municipality scorecards

From the U.S. Census (ACS 5-Year) and FEMA OpenFEMA Public Assistance:

• Population, poverty rate, median household income — Census ACS estimates.
• Federal recovery $ — FEMA Public Assistance federal share obligated.
• Recovery $ per resident — federal recovery funding divided by population.

Municipalities carry no 0–100 index. Federal recovery funding spans multiple disasters and administrations; it reflects disaster impact, not the performance of any town or official.

Officials: why there is no score

CivicaPR deliberately does not assign government officials a composite accountability score. The public data cannot support an honest per-official metric: federal contracts link to the companies that receive them (not to officials), FEMA recovery funding is municipal and spans administrations, and federal campaign-finance disclosure exists only for Puerto Rico's sole federal office, the Resident Commissioner. Rather than manufacture a number, we publish cited facts — background, party, verified accounts, and, where applicable, the campaign-finance money trail — each linked to its source.

Integrity rules we will not break

• Public products read only public records. Person-level contact data never appears on a public page.
• Every claim about a named person or entity is cited or dropped — no uncited prose, no fabricated figures.
• AI summarizes and structures cited sources; it never invents facts, names, dates, or scores.
• CivicaPR is a transparency platform. It does not and will not build surveillance, biometric, facial-recognition, location/device-tracking, or citizen-profiling features.
• CivicaPR is independent and not affiliated with any government entity.

Data sources

Every figure on CivicaPR traces to one of these public, authoritative sources:

• USASpending.gov — federal contract awards (contractors, agencies, obligations).
• U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 5-Year) — municipal population, poverty, and income estimates.
• FEMA OpenFEMA — disaster declarations and Public Assistance recovery funding.
• OpenFEC — federal campaign-finance disclosure (the Resident Commissioner).
• OpenStates / Plural (public domain) — Puerto Rico legislation, sponsors, and action history, anchored to each measure's official SUTRA record at the Asamblea Legislativa de Puerto Rico.
• Wikidata — the authoritative layer for officials' verified facts and social accounts (never model-guessed).
