- A Votara calculation, not an official statistic. The tags are those the Parliamentary Services give each item; an item can carry several, and the mapping to Votara's problem tree is Votara's own. The count measures how often members raise a subject, not debate time, decisions or importance: a question in the question hour weighs as much as a parliamentary initiative. Items by committees, groups, cantons and the Federal Council, and items co-signed or taken over, are not in parl-business.

Transformations
- Mapping (Votara decision): each of the 28 Curia Vista subject tags belongs to at most one of the 12 problem branches (TAG_BRANCH in src/lib/problems/attention.ts, with the reasons for each judgement call). Unmapped: international and European policy, law in general, civil and international law, human rights, courts, agriculture, culture, taxes, social questions.
- Each distinct business item (business_id) counts once. An item whose tags map to several branches is split equally between them (1/n each); an item without any mapped tag counts as "other subjects". Branch shares and "other subjects" add up to 100 %.
- Every business type counts the same (motions, postulates, interpellations, questions, parliamentary initiatives).
