This position is derived from the pattern of who votes with whom, not assigned by anyone judging the content of bills. It places this member relative to this chamber — it is not an absolute ideological ruler, and raw scores are not comparable across different legislatures.

Presidential agreement counts only roll calls where the president took a public position, and is pure arithmetic — it measures alignment with one person, not ideology. Party unity uses the standard definition: the share of votes where a majority of each party opposed each other on which this member sided with their own.

Cutting point is where a vote divides the chamber along the left–right axis: voting yea places a member on one side of that value, nay on the other. It is estimated from the vote itself, so no one has to characterise the bill's politics.
