Data Sourcing

Comments are fetched directly from official federal APIs (regulations.gov v4 API or the FCC ECFS public portal). Raw comments are ingested into our Delta Lake Bronze schema, stripping HTML noise and validating submitter fields without discarding critical metadata.

Clustering Limits & Caveats

This docket was evaluated using strict, identical character-by-character string matching. Submissions with even single-word mutations are not grouped under exact-hash metrics, underrepresenting the true volume of coordination.
