Uncommon Goods earns a NOligarchy Score of 82.94 out of 100. That headline number, however, carries a significant asterisk: across every public source this project tracks — federal lobbying filings, Political Action Committee (PAC) records, executive campaign donations, CEO pay disclosures, stock buyback filings, regulatory penalties, and government subsidies — no records have been matched to this company. Whether that reflects a genuinely clean ledger or simply the limits of what has been linked to this company in available public data is not yet determinable. The score reflects what the data shows; it does not confirm what it does not.

Score history — 23 quarters
Tier bands show where each quarter's score falls — no numeric y-axis needed. The dashed ring marks the year-over-year comparison point. Tap any quarter but the first to see its pillar breakdown.
•
Political Access Grade: 100/100. No federal lobbying spend, no corporate PAC, and no executive political donations were matched to Uncommon Goods from Q3 2024 through Q2 2026 (the two-year tracking period).
•
Wealth Extraction Grade: 39.84/100. No CEO pay filing, stock buyback, or dividend record was matched to this company. The score draws on an industry-level benchmark estimate rather than any company-disclosed figure, which limits what can be said with confidence.
•
Playing by the Rules Grade: 100/100. No regulatory fines or penalties were matched to Uncommon Goods across any tracked enforcement database.
Uncommon Goods ranks 3rd out of 21 among companies sharing its federal industry classification (Warehouse clubs, supercenters, and other general merchandise retailers). The sector average score is 55.8 — Uncommon Goods sits well above that baseline, though the absence of matched data means the score is shaped less by confirmed clean conduct than by a lack of any record to penalize.
The Bottom Line: A Profile the Public Record Cannot Yet Fill
No lobbying filings, no PAC activity, no executive-donation records, no CEO pay disclosure, no stock buyback or dividend data, no regulatory fines, and no government subsidies have been matched to Uncommon Goods across the tracked sources during the two-year period from Q3 2024 through Q2 2026. This is a private company with no Securities and Exchange Commission reporting obligation, which means large categories of financial disclosure that would be legally required of a publicly traded corporation simply do not exist here. What this profile can offer is an honest account of what the public record currently shows — and what it does not.
No Records Found in the Federal Influence Ledger
No federal lobbying expenditure, no corporate PAC spending, and no executive political donations were matched to Uncommon Goods across any tracked source during the two-year period from Q3 2024 through Q2 2026. The Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) search returns no filings. Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show no individual contributions tied to this employer.
That absence is notable relative to sector peers — several companies in the same federal industry classification have poured tens of millions into lobbying campaigns designed to shape trade, labor, and consumer-protection policy. Whether Uncommon Goods has genuinely stayed out of that game, or whether spending exists under structures not yet linked to this entity, is not something the available public record resolves.
EXHIBIT — THE RESERVED SEAT
$0 in lobbying · $0 in PAC money
Uncommon Goods filed no federal lobbying and ran no corporate PAC in this window — the reserved seat at the witness table sits empty.
No outside lobbying firms were retained, and no former government officials were identified in the company’s influence operation — because no such operation appears in the current public record.
A Pay Gap the Public Record Cannot Confirm
Because Uncommon Goods is a private company, it is not required to file an annual proxy statement disclosing its CEO’s total compensation or the ratio between executive and median worker earnings. No such filing was matched in the two-year tracking period. The best available figure is an industry-level benchmark: the CEO pay ratio is 552:1, based on AFL-CIO Executive Paywatch industry benchmarks for comparable companies in this sector. That estimate is not a figure this company disclosed — it is a stand-in derived from sector-wide patterns, and it should be read accordingly.
No stock buyback or dividend data is recorded for Uncommon Goods. As a private company, Uncommon Goods has no publicly reported shareholder payout program. What its ownership structure pays out to founders or private investors, and how that compares to what frontline workers take home, is not publicly disclosed — and that gap in visibility is itself an accountability issue, regardless of what the underlying numbers might show.
No Penalty Records Found on the Public Docket
No regulatory fines, enforcement actions, or legal penalties were matched to Uncommon Goods in any tracked database during the two-year period from Q3 2024 through Q2 2026. Likewise, no government grants, tax credits, or other public subsidies were found in tracked records.
It is worth stating plainly what “not found” means here: the absence of a matched record is not the same as a confirmed clean compliance history. Enforcement databases are extensive but not exhaustive, and private companies face fewer mandatory disclosure requirements than public ones. The current public record shows no violations — and that is the extent of what can responsibly be said.
