Each count is the number of store records that name this evaluator. An engagement is one lab document naming it for one model; an outcome is an event on the record afterwards; the money, seats and moves are the observatory's rows filtered to it. A cell that cannot be filled says not stated, and each table ends with how many of its rows state each field.
Filters combine: any of the values ticked within a dimension, all of the dimensions at once. A table that has no column for a dimension you have set says so instead of showing rows that cannot match. The address bar carries the slice.
What it was engaged to test 0 engagements
In date order, each from the lab document that names the evaluator. Under each: the four terms that document states (access, model stage, publication, payment) and the finding in its words. A term the document is silent on reads not stated; the tags beside the terms are read off their words and are what the console filters on.
No lab document on record names this evaluator for a model.

The terms, as the documents state them
The same engagements as a grid, one row per document and model, so the silences line up: a document that gives an access window but no payment term, or a finding but no publication term, reads that way here.
| Document | Model | Access window | Model stage | Publication | Payment | Finding | Record |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| no engagement on record | |||||||
Access window 0 of 0Model stage 0 of 0Publication 0 of 0Payment 0 of 0Finding, quoted 0 of 0
What happened afterwards 0 on record
Events a party published after an engagement: an incident on a model this evaluator's engagement covered, a correction or added disclosure, a later finding that cut against an earlier one, a lab's statement that it acted or did not act on the finding, or a move from this evaluator to a lab it graded. A row the source attaches to this evaluator by name is marked named; one that reaches it through the model it tested is marked via the model. The kind is what the record states, not why.

The money on record 6 rows · $7,364,463 in, stated single-recipient rows
Rows of the observatory's money table that name this evaluator as recipient (in) or as funder (out), each as the record states it: a grant table line, a contract notice, a Form 990 schedule or the party's own disclosure. A figure quoted in prose is marked and never summed.
