Composite leaderboard — research lead

Most-flagged active NV state legislators

A composite ranking of active NV State Senate + Assembly members by detector signal density. Score = recusal findings × 5 + QPQ chains × 4 + donor concentration HHI × 100 + top-1 donor share × 50 + Benford chi-square (capped at 30) + bonuses for high- dollar / vote-aligned recusals.

Read this as a research lead, not a verdict. A high score means the legislator's pattern stands out statistically across multiple detectors. It does not adjudicate wrongdoing. Each row links to the per-legislator page where every finding's evidence chain is published, alongside a "submit correction" path if any specific item is wrong.

How the score is computed

The composite score is a transparent weighted sum across detector outputs:

recusal_findings × 5 — Tier D NRS 281A.460 conflict-of-interest signals where a legislator voted on a matter despite a known business or contribution relationship with the affected party.
quid_pro_quo_chains × 4 — Tier D money-flow chains where money OUT to a lobbyist + that lobbyist's representation of a client + that client's contribution IN to the legislator + the legislator's vote-aligned action all connect within a window.
recusals_high_dollar × 3 — bonus for any recusal where the contribution amount exceeded $5,000.
recusals_vote_aligned × 3 — bonus for recusals where the vote actually aligned with the donor's interest (rather than counter-aligned).
donor_concentration_hhi × 100 — Herfindahl-Hirschman Index of the legislator's donor base. HHI > 0.25 is the U.S. DOJ "highly concentrated" antitrust threshold.
top1_donor_share × 50 — what fraction of total contributions came from a single donor.
benford_chi (capped 30) — chi-square distance from the Nevada-statewide first-digit baseline distribution. High values flag possible amount-fabrication or rounding patterns.

What it does NOT include (yet)

NRS 281A.420 ethics-disclosure compliance (pending — see FOIA pipeline NV Commission on Ethics records request).
Federal-level money flows for legislators with federal-office histories (pending FEC import).
Spousal or LLC-bundled donor patterns (pending shared-officer + address-cooccurrence cross-reference).
