- Keep state and federal records separateUse the disclosure system responsible for each office.
- Match identities conservativelyPublish numeric summaries only when the record supports the candidate-to-filer match.
- Preserve source terminologyUse the official field labels and avoid invented totals.
- Show the boundaryList missing and uncertain coverage beside completed work.
