Editorial rule

Formal role vs analytical influence

Formal leadership roles are documented by chamber records and party conference releases. "Analytical influence" is a separate, source-labeled model that never implies a secret chain of command. Representative X does not infer authority from party affiliation, donor relationships, shared votes, or committee overlap.
