Collection and cleaning workflow / Collection results
Policy Commons collection results
The frozen v8.3 document master contains 270,974 records. The national analytical view remains the verified v7.10 file with 182,010 document-country rows. Newly collected records are preserved for review but are not yet added to national country statistics.
Leading analytical countries and jurisdictions
Top 20 of 135 codes. Counts use the final document-country file.
Institution types in the final analytical view
Classification recorded in the 182,010-row final pair file.
Documents by year, 1990–2026
Years outside this plotting window and 222 missing years remain in the detailed table.
Languages in the canonical master
Top 15 raw or normalised language values in the 270,974-row master.
Search-route collection categories
Multi-valued categories are split and whole-counted. These are query categories, not Policy Commons modules.
Representative field coverage
Non-empty values; both null and empty strings count as missing.
Master origin
Origin of all 270,974 canonical document versions.
Available export formats
RIS-only, exact RIS/CSV pairs and CSV-only states in the augmented master.
Document genre values
Protocol 3.7 genre values retained in the final master.
Country-resolution status values
Top final-master status values. Historical correction statuses remain visible for audit.
Final analytical rows by release source
Provenance of the 182,010 authoritative document-country rows.
Final country-attribution methods
Rules that supplied the analytical country in the final pair file.
National policy-interest scope
Final pair-file eligibility scope.
Human document-form status
Final retained proceedings are shown separately from records not individually reviewed.
G20, OECD and EU country groups
These are overlapping groups of issuing countries, not three mutually exclusive partitions. A document-country row can contribute to more than one group total, but it is counted once within each group. The totals measure collection coverage, not population-adjusted national policy intensity.
National analytical rows by country group
G20: 19 countries; OECD: 38; EU: 27. Each bar uses the same 182,010-row national file.
G20 countries
Leading 12 of 19 national members; EU and African Union bodies are excluded.
OECD member countries
Leading 12 of 38 members; OECD-issued documents are in the separate international-organisation set.
EU member states
Leading 12 of 27 states; EU-institution documents are not distributed to members.

Separate international and multinational issuer datasets
The document records below are preserved in two separate local Parquet datasets, outside the national analytical view. The international set contains 7,092 records: 3,999 from international organisations and 3,093 from EU institutions. The multinational-private set contains 2,101 records. Both sets retain the full source-master columns and issuer-set evidence.
Identified non-national issuer records
Distinct records within each issuer class; these classes do not overlap.
Leading international and EU issuers
Top 12 exact publisher names across the international and EU set.
Multinational private issuers
Full identified publisher list, including Deloitte, KPMG and Boston Consulting Group.
International and EU issuer records by year, 1990–2026
Publication year in the separate international set; dates outside this range are omitted from this chart.
Multinational private issuer records by year, 1990–2026
Publication year in the separate private set; dates outside this range are omitted from this chart.

POCO_POGO | World Governments | R1, R2, R3 | Not recoverable at record level in v8.3 |

R1 is the 16 September World Governments run; R2 is the four-module AIGOV5 paired RIS/CSV run; R3 is the five-module 1950–2026 broad collection. A future release should add a many-to-many record_module_link table derived from frozen source manifests.

Data scope and interpretation
- Country, year, institution, release-source and attribution-method charts use the authoritative final document-country file.
- G20, OECD and EU group charts use national issuer-country rows only; group membership overlaps.
- International and multinational-private issuer charts use separate v8.3 master-derived datasets and never assign those issuers to a country from a headquarters or publication place alone.
- Language, query category, master origin, format, genre, resolution status and field completeness use the canonical master.
- Documents from documented AI-oriented searches remain included under the high-recall rule even when exported metadata has no AI term.
- Counts are descriptive collection status, not estimates of national policy quality or policy intensity.
- Territories and project-normalised jurisdictions are included among the 135 analytical codes.
Generated from policycommons_current_master.parquet (frozen v8.3) and document_country_pairs_final_v7_10.csv. Generator: source code.
