Fair; have tried to combat this issue in a few ways.

Each model's position is scored against outside political-science data (Chapel Hill Expert Survey for party positions, World Values Survey for where populations sit).

The stance coding is done by a separate model with a published prompt + a second model from a different lab re-scores a sample and we publish where the two disagree.

So not perfect but (as far as I can tell) one of the more defensible approaches.

Isn't it completely subjective to the point in time Overton window?

Yes, there's no way to avoid this really. You have to pick some point on the graph as the origin.

I’d argue the entire concept of being “unbiased” is flawed. All humans are biased all of the time, bias towards “the centre” is still a form of bias.

One cannot escape ideology, one merely swaps one ideology for another
