Entity Resolution Pipeline

Revolving Door Detection

We track the exact moment a regulator, committee member, or rapporteur resigns and appears on the payroll of a corporate lobbying firm. We map the network so you can trade the influence.

Worked example — Trading the personnel change

The Ex-Regulator hired to kill a tax bill

Our entity resolution engine flagged that J. Dupont, a former senior member of the French Finance Committee, was quietly added to the accreditation list for a Paris-based lobbying firm representing major energy companies. Within 3 weeks, a proposed windfall tax on the energy sector was severely diluted in committee.

The Developer Experience

The EU doesn't publish a 'revolving door' list. We build it synthetically by cross-referencing parliamentary resignation databases against new accreditations in the Transparency Register.

1. Python Integration

import requests

# Fetch all 'revolving door' alerts with high confidence
response = requests.get(
    "https://api.altdataeu.com/v1/alerts/revolving-door",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer alt_live_..."},
    params={
        "min_confidence": 0.95,
        "sector_exposure": "Energy"
    }
)
print(response.json())
