Eco Link Formal Comments To Public Discourse

Core Goal

• Connect formal participation traces and open-platform public discourse at the issue level.
• Distinguish aligned, formal-only, and public-only controversy footprints.
• Produce one reusable linkage artifact for representation-gap analysis and board planning.

Triggering Conditions

• Claim clusters or claim candidates already exist.
• Formal comments and public-platform signals have been normalized into the signal plane.
• Need to know whether an issue is discussed only in formal channels, only in open discourse, or in both.

Read/Write Contract

• Reads claim clusters, claim candidates, and verification routes from the run-local analysis plane first.
• Reads normalized signals from run_dir/analytics/signal_plane.sqlite, treating Regulations.gov rows as formal signals and other public rows as open-platform public signals.
• Falls back to compatible artifact paths when synced result sets are unavailable.
