People present at the same meetings

Both people are recorded present at the same meeting. This does not imply collaboration, agreement, or direct interaction.

Attendance is the index's capture: the College complete, staff rows sporadic — a person absent from a sitting's list may simply be unrecorded.

Shared meetings divided by the smaller of the two people's totals of distinct meetings recorded present, not by years of service. 34 of 71 people meet the floor of 5 meetings. Those rows are ordered by overlap, then count, then name; rows below the floor follow by count, then name.

About this index

Dataset and reviewed rules

Tier 1: derived from the reviewed attendance index and the reviewed country list by the rules below — no inference, no model. Corpus version 51641dad1a4c; 13,241 records. Weighting constants: owner sitting 2026-08-30; constants changed only by a future sitting. raw count everywhere — the count is the fact; ordering is presentation.

Names and terms in the same records

Rule: vocabulary term (aliases OR-folded) x person printed forms (OR-folded), whole-word FTS record co-occurrence

Order: distinctive first (lift) — records * N / (deg_term * deg_person); N = total fts records; degrees = graph_term_records / graph_person_records counts; support floor 5.

On this page: Order is “distinctive first” above the reviewed floor of 5 records, then by count.

SELECT t.slug FROM graph_term_records t JOIN graph_person_records p ON p.slug = t.slug WHERE t.term = :term AND p.person = :person ORDER BY t.slug

People present at the same meetings

Rule: distinct (meeting, group_display) present pairs, grouped; see the builder Attendance is the index's capture: the College complete, staff rows sporadic — a person absent from a sitting's list may simply be unrecorded.

Stored weighting note (verbatim): tenure — served alongside, over which span; must not imply affinity discrimination. overlap coefficient: meetings / min(deg_a, deg_b); degrees = distinct meetings present.

SELECT DISTINCT a.meeting FROM attendance a JOIN attendance b ON b.meeting = a.meeting WHERE a.group_display = :person_a AND b.group_display = :person_b AND a.status = 'present' AND b.status = 'present' ORDER BY a.meeting

How these results are ranked

Distinctiveness (lift) compares how often a term and a name share records with the frequency expected from their separate record totals. It is not evidence of personal interest or influence.

People present at the same meetings: ranking and measures

Shared meetings divided by the smaller of the two people's totals of distinct meetings recorded present, not by years of service. This is the overlap coefficient, shown as a percentage.
