Peach Check: Technical Overview

A nonpartisan, evidence-based scorecard for where Georgia's elected officials and candidates stand on the issues its community cares about, starting with crypto and digital assets, and extending to artificial intelligence. Peach Check grades the state level of government, the part of the ballot most voters never see scored, and links every grade to the public record behind it.

Peach Check is a civic initiative of the Atlanta Blockchain Center (ABC), produced in partnership with Stand With Crypto Georgia (SWC GA), the Georgia chapter of the national Stand With Crypto movement. The two organizations work closely together on the project. It is nonpartisan and live at peachcheck.org.

Peach Check is also the first live deployment of a reusable platform. The same engine can be re-skinned for any state (its own domain, name, and theme) and pointed at any issue, not only crypto. More on that below.

This document explains what Peach Check is, how grades are produced, where the data comes from, and how the model generalizes. It is written to be read by a person in five minutes or ingested by a language model in one pass.

At a glance

What: an A-to-F scorecard of Georgia state officials and 2026 candidates, graded on crypto and digital-asset policy, with artificial intelligence as the next issue.
Who: Atlanta Blockchain Center, in partnership with Stand With Crypto Georgia. Nonpartisan.
Why it exists: Stand With Crypto's national scorecard stops at Congress. Peach Check covers everything below it, starting with the statewide offices and the General Assembly (the "Gold Dome").
How grades are produced: AI reads each official's documented legislative record (the bills they sponsored and how they voted) and applies a consistent rubric. Every grade is traceable to the underlying public record, labeled as AI-generated, and reviewed by a human who is accountable for it.
Reusable: the platform is state-agnostic and issue-agnostic. Another state can run its own version under its own brand, on crypto, AI, or any issue with a public legislative record.
How you use it: search by name, city, or county, or tap your county on an interactive map, to see your representatives' grades, their plain-English record, and one-tap ways to contact them.
Where the data comes from: the official Georgia General Assembly legislative record (bill text, sponsorships, and roll-call votes), the legislative roster from OpenStates, statewide officeholders and candidates from the Georgia Secretary of State, and district geography from U.S. Census redistricting files.

1. What Peach Check is

Peach Check is a public, searchable scorecard. For each Georgia state official or 2026 candidate it shows:

a letter grade (A through F, or "unknown" if not yet assessed) on each issue it tracks,
a plain-English summary of that person's record,
the specific bills and votes the grade is based on, each linked to the source,
the city and county they represent (not just an "HD 25" district code most voters do not recognize),
and one-tap ways to call or email them.

The product is deliberately nonpartisan. A grade reflects documented action on the issue, not party affiliation. Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and Libertarians are all graded on the same evidence by the same method.

Peach Check is the Georgia, crypto-first instance of the platform. The name and look ("peach check," a peach standing in for the letter mark) localize a national movement to Georgia. Internally the project began as the "Gold Dome Score," a reference to the gold-domed Georgia State Capitol.

2. Who is behind it

Atlanta Blockchain Center (ABC) is the lead organization. ABC runs Peach Check as a civic and educational initiative.

Stand With Crypto Georgia (SWC GA) is the partner. Stand With Crypto is a nonpartisan grassroots movement of crypto advocates; its Georgia chapter focuses on state-level policy. ABC and SWC GA work as a close-knit team on Peach Check, combining ABC's civic and educational work with Stand With Crypto's advocacy network.

The partnership is intentional and complementary: Stand With Crypto's well-known national scorecard grades federal candidates and members of Congress. Peach Check fills the gap directly beneath it, the state offices and legislative seats that decide a growing share of real digital-asset policy.

3. What it covers

Issues. Peach Check's launch issue is crypto and digital assets. Artificial intelligence is the next issue, and Georgia already has an AI legislative record to grade (for example, the Senate study committee on AI and digital currency, and bills on AI accountability and digital likeness). Each official carries an independent grade per issue, so a legislator can be strong on one and weak on another.

Levels of government, today:

Statewide constitutional officers (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and the other statewide elected offices).
The Georgia State Senate (56 districts).
The Georgia State House (180 districts).

That is the full Georgia General Assembly, 236 seats, plus the statewide officers, plus qualified 2026 candidates for those offices.

On the roadmap: county commissions and city councils. The data model is already built to hold local offices; they are a question of sourcing and grading capacity, not of platform.

Bills tracked (crypto): the crypto and digital-asset legislation of Georgia's 2025-2026 session, including:

HB 1272, the payment stablecoin licensing act, which was signed into law.
SB 178 and SB 228, proposals for a Georgia state Bitcoin reserve.
HR 2121 and HR 905, blockchain-related resolutions.
additional measures as the session produces them.

Each bill has its own page with a plain-English summary, its current status, who sponsored it, and exactly how every legislator voted.

4. How grading works

This is the most important part of the system, so it is worth stating plainly, including that it is done by AI.

Grades are produced by AI, from the public record, and shown transparently. For each official the platform assembles their record on the issue and an AI model applies one consistent, written rubric to produce the letter grade and a plain-English explanation. Because the field is large, grading is AI-first: the model grades every official by the same standard, and a human can review and override any grade. Grades are labeled in the product as AI-generated, so no reader is misled about how they were produced.

The evidence has two parts, each sourced. The platform grades on an official's documented public record on the issue:

Legislative actions: the bills on the issue they introduced or co-sponsored, and how they voted on the recorded roll-call votes, drawn from the state legislature's own record. Every bill links back to its page on the legislature's website (for Georgia, legis.ga.gov), so anyone can follow the evidence to the source.
Public positions: on-the-record signals of where they stand, such as a public endorsement or policy statement, an op-ed, an advisory or board role with an industry organization, or an answer to a candidate survey. Each is cited to its public source.

Both matter because the binding record (votes and sponsorships) is the strongest evidence, but it does not exist for everyone: candidates and many statewide officials have never cast a vote on the issue, so their public positions are the record. Where a legislator has acted, that action carries the most weight, and a vote against the issue is not erased by favorable words.

Every grade is traceable. Each grade carries a citation trail, the legislative actions and public positions behind the letter, each linked to its source, so a reader can verify any grade without taking anyone's word for it. Because the rubric is explicit and the evidence is shown on the page, the same evidence yields the same grade every time.

Humans stay accountable. AI proposes; people are responsible. The model grades and drafts the explanation; the team owns the rubric, reviews grades, can correct or override any of them, and answers for the result. The model may use only the cited evidence, is barred from speculating about motives or inventing any fact, and is instructed to return "unknown" rather than guess when the record is thin.

Published versus pending. A record is "published" once it is verified and treated as authoritative. Advocate-submitted records and edits land as "pending" and are shown as such until reviewed. This keeps the scorecard open to public contribution without letting unverified claims masquerade as confirmed grades.

The grade scale:

A, Champion: a clear, consistent supportive record, in legislative action and/or public position (for example, sponsoring the issue's bills, or a public leadership role on it).
B, Friendly: generally supportive.
C, Mixed or neutral: a mixed or limited record.
D, Leans against: generally unfavorable.
F, Opposed: a clear record against, such as voting against the issue's bills.
Unknown: not yet assessed. Officials with too little public record to grade start here.

A core integrity rule: the platform never fabricates a grade for a real person. Where the record is thin, the grade is "unknown," not a guess, and the AI is instructed to return "unknown" rather than stretch.

5. A reusable platform: other states, other issues

Peach Check is one deployment of a general model, not a one-off site. It is reusable along two axes.

Any state. The engine is not specific to Georgia. Another state's advocates can stand up their own scorecard with their own domain, name, and visual theme, pointed at their own legislature. The hard parts (ingesting the legislative record, mapping districts to recognizable places, producing sourced grades, contact tools, and petitions) are the same everywhere; the data source and the branding are what change.

Any issue. Nothing in the grading engine is crypto-specific. It reads bills and votes and grades them against a rubric, so it works for any issue with a public legislative record: crypto and digital assets and AI today, and, for example, energy, privacy, housing, or healthcare next. A single official can hold a separate grade per issue.

Put together, the platform can power a family of "[State] Check" sites, each under its own brand, each grading its own legislature on whichever issues its community cares about, all on the same transparent, sourced, AI-driven method.

6. How a voter uses it

Search by name, city, or county. Most people do not know their House or Senate district number, so search and display are built around places, not district codes.
The interactive map. Tap any of Georgia's 159 counties to see the legislators who represent it and their grades, shaded by how the county's delegation scores on average.
Official profiles. Each profile is a report card: the grade, a plain-English summary, the underlying voting record, the city and county covered, and one-tap call and email buttons for constituent contact.
Bill pages. Every tracked bill is explained in plain English, with its status, its sponsors, and the full roll call of how each legislator voted.
Petitions. Voters can add their name to nonpartisan petitions (for example, on a state Bitcoin reserve) that tell lawmakers where they stand.
Join. An email signup builds a standing community of advocates.

7. Data sources and provenance

The platform is only as trustworthy as its inputs, so its sources are explicit and, where licenses require, attributed in the product itself.

Bills, sponsorships, and roll-call votes: the official Georgia General Assembly record for the 2025-2026 session. Every bill on the site links back to its page on the state legislature's website (legis.ga.gov), and the record is reviewed and updated deliberately as the session progresses.
Public positions: on-the-record endorsements, statements, op-eds, advisory or board roles, and survey answers, gathered from public sources and each cited on the official's profile. These let the platform grade candidates and officials who have no legislative voting record on the issue.
The legislative roster, portraits, and capitol contact details: the OpenStates current Georgia dataset, covering all 180 House and 56 Senate members.
Statewide constitutional officers: the Georgia Secretary of State's elected-officials records.
2026 candidates: the Georgia Secretary of State's qualified-candidate listings.
District-to-place geography: U.S. Census Bureau redistricting relationship files, which map each legislative district to the counties and cities it covers, so voters can find their reps by place.
County boundaries: standard Georgia county geographic shapes (159 counties) for the map.

Identity citations (proving who an official is) are kept separate from grade citations (proving why they earned a letter). An official's identity can be sourced even when the grade is still "unknown."

8. Integrity, transparency, and nonpartisanship

The platform makes a few commitments explicit because its value depends on them:

Real records, real people. Grades describe documented action by named officials. The system never invents a grade, a vote, or a quote.
Sourced and auditable. Every grade links to the evidence. Readers are invited to check the record themselves.
Nonpartisan by construction. The same evidence standard and the same method apply across every party. The grade is about the issue, not political alignment.
Transparent about AI. Grades and summaries are produced by AI and labeled as such. The underlying record is public and the rubric is documented, so the method can be inspected, not merely trusted.
Humans accountable. A person reviews and can override any grade and owns the rubric. The AI is barred from speculation or invention and returns "unknown" rather than guess.
Open to correction. Advocates can submit officials and suggest edits; submissions are flagged pending until reviewed.

9. Roadmap

Add artificial intelligence as a fully graded issue, then additional issues.
Offer the platform to other states under their own brand and domain.
Extend coverage downward to county commissions and city councils.
Track additional bills as the legislative session advances, and deepen the candidate scorecard through the 2026 election cycle.

10. In one paragraph

Peach Check (peachcheck.org) is a nonpartisan A-to-F scorecard of Georgia state officials and 2026 candidates, built by the Atlanta Blockchain Center with Stand With Crypto Georgia. It grades the statewide offices and the full General Assembly, the level beneath Stand With Crypto's national congressional scorecard, starting with crypto and digital assets and extending to artificial intelligence. Grades are produced by AI applying a consistent rubric to each official's documented legislative record (sponsorships and roll-call votes); every grade is traceable to the public record, labeled as AI-generated, and reviewed by an accountable human. The same engine is reusable: any state can run its own scorecard under its own domain, name, and theme, on any issue with a public legislative record. Voters search by name, city, or county, or use an interactive county map, to find their representatives' grades and contact them directly.
