Not spending, not adoption, not intent. One question asked the same way each year: when somebody asks for the evidence, what can organisations in this region put on a table?
There are no numbers on this page yet, and that is deliberate.
We publish the method before the results so the method can be argued with while it still matters. Scores appear when the first edition is complete and not before. An index that arrives fully formed, with no prior statement of how it was built, is marketing wearing a lab coat.
Can the organisation say what it is running, including what arrived as a feature of something else?
Can it name who decided, when, and on what information?
Has anything been tested by a party that does not report to the people who built it?
Is the evidence current without a project running to produce it?
Structured, on the record where permitted, anonymised in aggregate. Sample and sector mix published with the results.
Where an organisation consents, artefacts are examined rather than described. Self-report is labelled as self-report.
Sample size, geographic skew and every question that produced an unusable answer. Including the ones that make the index look worse.
One email. We will also publish the method for comment before the fieldwork starts.
