A public record of U.S. government and large ownership

About Open Eye

Open Eye is a public record in two parts. It is in beta.

Government

Congressional votes, presidential actions, and Supreme Court decisions, described in plain language. Each record links the official source.

Who owns what

Documented stakes in brands and firms: which firm holds a stake, and the public source for that fact. The record describes the stake. It does not rate the owner. How ownership records are labeled.

Where the data comes from

Government records come from public sources: House and Senate roll calls, Congress.gov, GPO govinfo, the congress-legislators roster, the Federal Register, and the Supreme Court Database. Ownership records are compiled from company disclosures, SEC filings, and other public sources linked on each entry.

Plain-language summaries

Summaries are generated automatically to describe what a measure, order, or case does, without commentary. They can be incomplete. Check them against the linked official source.

Beta

Lists and summaries can change as sources are checked. Questions and corrections can go to the contact page.
