About & Methodology

Dialog Tracker is an independent research project. It maps the leaked membership directory of Dialog — the off-the-record network associated with Peter Thiel — and the publicly documented connections, funding, and affiliations of the people in it.

Where the data comes from

The member directory is drawn from the public Dialog leak. Connections are compiled from public records and named reporting — U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, openly-licensed reference sources, and reporting by established news outlets — with machine-assisted research used to surface leads.

Every connection on the board cites a source you can open. Verified political-contribution dollar figures are taken directly from the FEC's itemized records. Portraits and organization logos appear only where they are openly licensed (for example, public-domain or Creative Commons).

How to read the board

Each thread between two cards is labeled by its sourcing status. A pending link is a sourced lead — it is documented, but has not yet been independently confirmed by our team. A verified link is one where a person has opened the cited record and confirmed it. Card sizes and clusters reflect the number of connections, not importance, guilt, or influence.

Important — please read

Dialog Tracker presents documented associations and public records for research and journalistic purposes. An association between two people or organizations is not an allegation of wrongdoing, illegality, or a personal relationship beyond what the cited source states. The data may contain errors, same-name mismatches, or out-of-date information. Nothing here is an adjudicated fact or a claim that any person has committed a crime. Verify against primary sources before relying on or republishing anything.

Corrections & removal

If you are featured and believe something is inaccurate, tell us — point us to the specific card or link and a source, and we will correct or remove it promptly.
