Confidence framework
Confidence describes evidence quality, not optimism about an outcome.
| Level | Assigned when |
|---|---|
| Data confidence: High | Official or multilateral source, current period, national or county coverage, independently corroborated. |
| Data confidence: Moderate | Credible source with a lag, partial geographic coverage, or a single corroborating record. |
| Data confidence: Limited | Thin sample, listing-based evidence, or a proxy standing in for the intended measure. |
| Data confidence: Insufficient | No acceptable source. The metric is withheld and the gap is stated instead. |
Location scorecard
A transparent weighted sum. Users may re-weight any pillar, and the score recomputes with the change recorded.
Score = Σ (pillar score × pillar weight), where each pillar score is normalized to a 0–100 scale within the comparison set. Pillars with Insufficient evidence are excluded and the remaining weights are renormalized, with the exclusion shown on the scorecard.
