SEAL SD Command's FORGE intelligence system is built on one rule: no opinion, only the documented record. Every accountability report traces to a primary source. Every claim is either verifiable or flagged as insufficient data. Here is exactly how it works.
FORGE agents query primary sources directly — not news summaries, not Wikipedia, not third-party aggregators. The original documents are the record.
Voting records, bill sponsorships, co-sponsorships, committee assignments, and session history for all SD House and Senate members. Live-fetched during each FORGE run.
Official candidate filings, election results, campaign finance disclosures, and ballot access confirmations.
Official state audit findings for counties and state agencies. Audit violations, corrective action plans, and compliance history. Primary source for all county audit reporting on this site.
Official meeting minutes PDFs covering 2018–2026. Verbatim vote records, budget decisions, and commissioner positions sourced directly from county records.
Custer County Chronicle, Rapid City Journal, South Dakota Searchlight, and SDPB archives. Used for contemporaneous reporting, candidate statements, and forum coverage. Always identified as secondary source.
Candidate websites, official campaign social media, and public statements. Used for platform documentation. Archived at time of research.
When you run a candidate search, FORGE deploys four independent AI agents simultaneously — each assigned a specific research dimension:
Every item in the final report is categorized: DELIVERED, BROKEN, FLIPPED, DROPPED, or NEW. Each requires at least one cited primary source. If the evidence doesn't exist, the report says INSUFFICIENT DATA — not a fabricated answer.
We pre-loaded SEAL SD Command with verified intelligence on the candidates South Dakota voters are searching for most. This means when you type a name — a governor candidate, a Custer County commissioner, a District 30 legislator — FORGE already has the primary source record in hand before the agents run. You get faster results and fewer INSUFFICIENT DATA gaps because the research was done in advance.
What's pre-loaded: All 2026 South Dakota Governor race candidates, SD House and Senate District 30 members (Custer and Fall River counties), and current Custer County commissioners and judicial candidates. For these names, FORGE agents receive verified ground truth from the start — voting records, audit findings, platform statements, and public positions sourced from primary documents.
This database is updated as candidates file, platforms are published, and voting records are added to the record. Last update: April 2026. For candidates not yet in the database, FORGE still runs — it will return INSUFFICIENT DATA on any claim it cannot verify rather than fabricating an answer.
If you believe a FORGE report contains an error, a missing primary source, or a factual inaccuracy, contact us at [email protected]. Our AI research coordinator reviews every correction request against the primary source record. Verified errors are corrected. We do not correct reports simply because a subject disagrees with their documented record.
