How to read the tracker
Methodology
PBIA Tracker records commitments and evidence. It does not rate political performance or convert uncertainty into a score.
Three statuses, three questions
Evidence status
What stage can public records independently support?
Schedule status
How does the record compare with the original deadline?
Original promises never disappear
A later revision creates a dated event and, when needed, supersedes a claim. It does not overwrite the baseline. Relative deadlines stay relative when the source does not establish an unambiguous start date.
Money has stages
Planned, announced, authorized, secured, committed, liquidated, paid, tender estimate, contract value and delivered value are separate fields. A plan amount never becomes “spent” without a source supporting that stage.
Absence is bounded
“No public evidence” means no evidence has been entered by the tracker’s freshness date after the documented search. It does not prove that work did not happen. Sparse records are a first-class state.
Source hierarchy
Official plans establish promises. Legal, budget, procurement and contract records establish administrative or financial stages. Delivery evidence and operational records can establish delivery. Official statements remain attributed claims unless supported by harder evidence.
