A public instrument of the OYA movement

The OYA Index

Every company that uses AI gets a profile. Where it's registered. Who owns it. Whose campaigns its money reaches. Which governments it contracts with. What its privacy policy actually says. Facts, not opinions — every line cited to a primary source, with the date we retrieved it.

What a profile shows

The record, in one place.

Each block is built from public primary sources — corporate registries, SEC filings, FEC data, USAspending, court dockets, the company's own published policies — never from rumor, and never from our commentary.

Identity

Registration & ownership

Jurisdiction, corporate registrations, parent chains and subsidiaries — each identifier carrying its source and retrieval date.

Money

Political contributions

PAC contributions and lobbying disclosures as filed, reported in the filings' own terms.

Contracts

Government contracts

Awards as published by the contracting agency, with award IDs. The contract is the fact; the conclusion is yours.

Data

Data practices

What the privacy policy states, quoted verbatim from dated snapshots — and every change between snapshots, shown as old text → new text.

Record

Litigation & enforcement

Filings, settlements, and judgments from dockets and regulator releases, described only in the documents' own terms.

Coverage

Press, with sponsorship exposed

Coverage about the company — with publisher-disclosed sponsored content labeled, so reporting and reputation-laundering stop looking alike.

Method

Built so it can't editorialize.

01Evidence first

Every fact traces to an immutable, dated snapshot of its source. Quotes are verbatim and machine-verified against the snapshot — a paraphrase can't even be stored, let alone published.

02The right company

One canonical record per legal entity, joined across registries. When official sources disagree about ownership, we show both claims with citations — the disagreement is itself a fact.

03Corrections in public

Any company can submit a documented correction. Corrections are public events: what changed, why, and when. Publishers get right of reply on coverage labels.

Posture

We're not giving opinions.
We're showing the information.

§1

We don't characterize. Not companies, and never people. The record speaks; the reader concludes.

§2

We list ourselves. The companies behind this index appear on it, held to the same standard, from day one.

§3

No pay-to-rank. Ever. No placement fees, no sponsored profiles, no paid corrections. One sold slot would kill the whole instrument — so there are none.

§4

Public sources only. Public records, published policies, and open registries. Nothing scraped from behind a login, nothing leaked, nothing anonymous.

In build. The evidence system comes first; company profiles publish only after independent legal review of the full methodology. No previews, no early lists.
