How we verify
Tenure-Bookended Methodology
Every leader is judged on what changed under their watch — debt at swearing-in versus debt at handover, with no credit or blame for inherited figures.
Source-Weighted Verification
Every fact is triangulated across institutional (DMO, CBN, NBS), civic (BudgIT, CSOs), and credible media sources before it earns the verified badge.
Confidence Transparency
Every figure carries a confidence score and links back to the underlying sources. Where the record is contested, we say so out loud.
