Contact status uses the 90-day window. Vote shown is the vote on the deciding motion.

Lobbyists choose whom to contact (persuadable members, ward councillors, committee members), so a difference does not show a change of mind.

Linked lobbying registrations

This link is inferred by lobbyTO; the registry does not record which agenda item a registration concerns.

Links between records are inferred by a model and are not reviewed by a person. Each link shows its score out of 1; moderate-confidence links (0.7 to 0.9) are wrong more often than high-confidence links. How links are scored

  Evidence Moderate confidence · score 0.77

  A model scored this link between 0.7 and 0.9 out of 1. Links are not checked by a person, and links in this range are wrong more often: check the evidence before relying on it.
