Disclosure works as designed.

Every federal lobbying filing and every congressional stock trade is published on a public server, on a schedule set by statute. The people who read them the day they post are paid to. Everyone else reads about it in Politico three weeks later, if it was a slow week.

The schedule is the design. Lobbying reports are due quarterly, filed by the lobbyist, describing the lobbyist's own work. A stock trade is due within 45 days, with a $200 fee for missing the window and a committee empowered to waive it. Drug-company payments to physicians for one calendar year are published the following June. Each of these was decided in public, by people who already had staff to read the filings.

All of it is readable today by anyone with a research staff and a reason. Those people exist. They work for the firms whose names are in the filings.

Freshcod3s publishes the same records with the date each one posted, the date it was due, and a link to the source. Every figure on every instrument traces to the document it came from. When a registry changes, Struckwire keeps what it used to say.

Five instruments are live. Track Lobby reads the federal lobbying record. Congress Trade Alerts reads STOCK Act filings and shows how late each one was. IndustryPayments mirrors CMS Open Payments. Struckwire watches the TTB label registry for removals and changes. MoonOpps maps every landing on the Moon.

MoonOpps is on the desk because the impulse is the same. The record of every landing exists, in the archive, in the archive's format.

Freshcod3s adds no commentary. The filings manage on their own.
