Grant recipient name fragmentation
Grant recipient name fragmentation
Federal grants recipient names are source-fragmented. The same institution may appear under multiple English, French, or bilingual strings in the TBS source. Use
/api/v1/grants/recipients?q=... to browse matching strings before profiling a recipient.Lobbying lobbyist name coverage
Lobbying lobbyist name coverage
Lobbyist names are sometimes incomplete in communication records. NorthAxium Data falls back to the matching registration row when possible, which raises effective name coverage to roughly 90%. The MCP tool reflects the same fallback.
Ottawa permits geometry
Ottawa permits geometry
Ottawa permit geometry is approximately 60% due to inconsistent source address strings. This is a source-data quality constraint, not an ingestion issue.
Victoria permits — rolling feed only
Victoria permits — rolling feed only
Victoria publishes only a rolling 365-day permit feed. No historical Victoria permit data is available from the source. This is a permanent constraint of the publisher’s open data portal.
Procurement category filter
Procurement category filter
The
/contracts category filter is not yet available. The source commodity_type field stores internal codes (S, G, C) rather than a public-facing taxonomy.Parliamentary data lag
Parliamentary data lag
Parliamentary data reflects the latest successful NorthAxium ingestion from LEGISinfo and Parliament of Canada source systems, and may lag live parliamentary activity by days to weeks during active sessions.
