Hlídač státu as a journalism tool
6 prompts from this guide. Fill in whatever sits in [square brackets] — your own context, the document text or the name of your tool. That context is exactly what separates a generic answer from a usable one.
Prompt: screening one agency
Use only data from Hlídač státu — don't add anything from memory. For the institution [agency name]: 1. Find its company ID and confirm it's the right entity (registered address, type). 2. Return the K-index for every available year. If there isn't one, say so. 3. List contracts from the last three years flagged as having serious legal issues. 4. List contracts with a hidden price. 5. List contracts whose value sits just under the public procurement threshold. For each contract, give: date, counterparty with its company ID, amount, subject, and an identifier for looking it up. At the end, state how many results there were in total and how many you're showing — I need to know if I'm looking at the first page or at everything.
Prompt: a company's dealings with the state over time
For the company [name], find its company ID and then build a profile of its business with the state: - a summary of its dealings with the state (contracts, subsidies, risks) - the volume of contracts by year, as a table - its five largest contracts with date, contracting authority, and amount - insolvency proceedings by company ID, including the company's role in them - criminal records for the legal entity - unreliable VAT payer status - subsidiary companies For each figure, note which source it comes from. Where data doesn't exist, write “not in the data” — don't estimate or fill in gaps.
Prompt: cross-checking donations
For the company [name, company ID] and for its directors and partners (look them up as people), find: 1. donations to political parties — who, when, to whom, how much 2. contracts and procurement with the state — when and with whom Build a single timeline with both series side by side, sorted by date. Don't draw any conclusion about a connection. Just show me where donations and contracts sit close together in time, and for each such pair note what BORING explanation could account for it.
Prompt: subsidies by region and by sector
Search for subsidies in the area of [e.g. sport] awarded in the years [range] to recipients based in [region/municipality]. Sort by amount descending, return the top 30. For each: recipient with company ID, program, project, amount, year, grantor. Then separately list recipients who appear more than once in the results, with their combined total.
Prompt: what got said about it on the floor
In the Chamber of Deputies transcripts, find speeches that mention [topic / program name / company name], from [date] onward. Return a table: date, speaker, session, topic, one quoted sentence. Sort from most recent. Then for the three most relevant, give me the full passage of the speech so I can read it in context. State how many records the query found in total.
Prompt: turning findings into something you can verify
From everything you've found in this conversation, build a single table with these columns: 1. claim (one sentence, as it might appear in the piece) 2. the specific data behind it (record type, identifier, amount, date) 3. where I can verify it at the source (which registry, what to search for) 4. what's still missing before this could be published Don't put anything in column 1 that doesn't have a record in column 2. At the end, add a list titled OPEN QUESTIONS: things public data can't answer, that I need to ask someone about directly.
