Who TIP Serves
The citizen who sees the contradictions and wonders if anyone else notices. The person who doesn't think government affects them. The citizen who wants their leaders to listen and needs data — not opinions — to hold them accountable.

Principles
Nonpartisan by structure, not by promise. The same scoring, data sources, and algorithms apply to every official regardless of party. TIP serves facts, accuracy, and truth — nothing else, ever.
The United States is a Constitutional Republic. TIP exists to help citizens understand how it was designed to function and to participate with full knowledge of what their representatives actually do.
