Linked agenda items

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

Former-official status

No match with a former member of council, councillor staff or City staff. A match appears only when a decision model comparing the two records scores it 0.95 or higher.

Disclosure timeliness

Lobbyists must record a communication within 3 days. lobbyTO measures the gap between a communication's date and the first daily snapshot of the registry export in which it appears. The export refreshes daily, so a 1-day gap is expected.

Measurement in progress. Daily snapshots began on 4 October 2026 (2 days of snapshots so far); results appear after 6 months of snapshots, from 4 April 2027. Communications dated before the first snapshot are not measured.
