METHODOLOGY

Transparent signals.
Not political verdicts.

Loseseat distinguishes public-opinion polling from analysis of media coverage. Every metric must be traceable to its source history and methodology version.

01

Official
office data

Current officeholders are verified against institutional sources and every mandate keeps its source URL and verification date.

02

Media
sentiment

This measures monitored editorial and digital coverage. It does not represent public opinion or an opinion poll.

03

Continuity
risk

The v8 estimate uses only approved assessments, groups repeated coverage and weights relevance, confidence, source integrity and recency. Positive evidence offsets negative pressure. Evidence maturity is 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% for one to four directional events; corroborated severe or critical events can mature earlier. The score uses the complete 0–100 scale without a human top-up.

PUBLICATION STANDARD

Every score needs
an audit trail.

We record the sources, collection period, approved evidence, factor weights, calculation run and a clear disclaimer for every media-based metric.
