The project is detailed in the contract as a seven step process — with Kogan's company, GSR, generating an initial seed sample (though it does not specify how large this is here) using «online panels»; analyzing this seed training
data using its own «psychometric inventories» to try to determine personality categories; the next step is Kogan's personality quiz app being deployed on Facebook to gather the full dataset from respondents and also to scrape a
subset of data from their Facebook friends (here it notes: «upon consent
of the respondent, the GS Technology scrapes and retains the respondent's Facebook profile and a quantity
of data on that respondent's Facebook friends»); step 4 involves the psychometric
data from the seed sample, plus the Facebook profile
data and friend
data all being run through proprietary modeling algorithms — which the contract specifies are based on using Facebook likes to predict personality scores, with the stated aim
of predicting the «psychological, dispositional and / or attitudinal facets
of each Facebook record»; this then generates a series
of scores per Facebook profile; step 6 is to match these psychometrically scored profiles with voter record
data held by SCL — with the goal
of matching (and thus scoring)
at least 2M voter records for targeting voters across the 11 states; the final step is for matched records to be returned to SCL, which would then be in a position to craft messages to voters based on their modeled psychometric scores.

Any results that are reported to constitute a blinded, independent validation
of a statistical model (or mathematical classifier or predictor) must be accompanied by a detailed explanation that includes: 1) specification
of the exact «locked down» form
of the model, including all
data processing steps, algorithm for calculating the model output, and any cutpoints that might be applied to the model output for final classification, 2) date on which the model or predictor was fully locked down in exactly the form described, 3) name
of the individual (s) who maintained the blinded
data and oversaw the evaluation (e.g., honest broker), 4) statement
of assurance that no modifications, additions, or exclusion were made to the validation
data set from the point
at which the model was locked down and that neither the validation
data nor any
subset of it had ever been used to assess or refine the model being tested
