Political life, measured.
Quantitative, reproducible studies of French parliamentary debate, built on the full corpus Polyfact collects and structures — transcripts, votes, bills, mandates.
Published studies
A genealogy of political talking points
The birth, spread and death of political formulas in the debates of the Assemblée nationale, 2017-2026: who coins the words, who picks them up, and what becomes of them.
Media sequences
The stories holding the French news agenda, day by day — trigger, peak, end and rebounds — read in AFP briefs and the chapters of video media outlets, and what elected officials take up, neglect or carry alone on X. Recomputed every night, updated every 15 minutes.
Opinion 2027: the polls, verified
The 2027 French presidential polls, read in the pollsters' releases collected by Polyfact, structured and checked: the first-round range, each pollster's house effect, what one candidacy costs the others, where 2022 voters go. Every figure links back to its quote and the pollster's publication.
Our approach
Conclusions you can check: every study publishes its method, its data and its limits.
The full corpus, not a sample
Our studies read the entirety of the debates, votes and bills — not hand-picked excerpts. Trends are normalized by the actual volume of speech or activity.
Open method
Official sources, explicit extraction rules, published error audits: every number can be traced back to the sitting and the speaker behind it.
Adversarial verification
Every claim is checked against the data before publication — dates, attributions, counts — and uncertainty is flagged rather than smoothed away.
Let's work together
A research question, a bespoke analysis, an academic or press partnership — let's talk.
