One-call 'follow the money and influence' map for an organization, joined across three federal public-record streams: FEC (the org's connected political committees / PACs - its political-spending vehicles), the U.S. Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act (filings where the org is the client, the reported lobbying spend, the firms it hired, and the issue areas lobbied), and USAspending (federal contracts + grants the org RECEIVES, with award counts and top agencies). Returns a readable map of money flowing OUT to influence (lobbying + political committees) vs. money flowing IN from federal awards. Built for investigative journalism, govcon, and due-diligence research. Informational public-record synthesis, NOT a risk score (distinct from counterparty_risk_score). The FEC leg needs an api.data.gov key and is noted as skipped if unavailable; a source that fails is noted, not fatal.
