Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 3, Utility: 6)

ChamberZero is a web application that presents U.S. elections, campaign finance, and legislative data through a Miller-column drill-down interface, linking aggregated figures directly to raw FEC filings and vote records. The project's strength is its comprehensive data integration—from 1788 elections to itemized transactions—and the ability to trace donations to their source, though documentation is sparse and the interface may have a learning curve.

Target audience: journalists, political researchers, data journalists, civic tech developers
