Halls · computed from the record, updated nightly
Who answered. Who didn't.
Every person and organization our stories name, ranked by what they did when asked. Nobody is placed by hand: the halls are a sort over the same entities, stories, responses, outcomes and facts you see everywhere else.

Hall of Shame
346 qualify · top 10Ranked by open stories, weighted by silence: no response or declined to comment, stories lost, and money in the record. One admission or one fixed story moves an entity out.
Hall of Fame
1,439 qualify · top 10Ranked by what got fixed: stories closed as won after the entity answered, admissions on the record, and the auditors, clerks and boards whose action produced an outcome. Being named in a story is not disqualifying; refusing to answer is.
How the halls are computed
Shame score = open stories × (1 + silent share) + lost outcomes, with $ in the record as the tiebreak. Fame score = won + ½ partial outcomes after a response or admission, plus outcomes the entity itself produced.
Moving between halls
A single admission or a single story closed as won moves an entity out of Shame. Declining to comment counts as silence. Nothing here is edited by hand; corrections go through the story.
