Technical data standard

This structure keeps the forecast, decision threshold, responsible institution, public commitment, implementation and outcome in distinct fields. It supports consistent citation and comparison while preserving the law and administrative responsibilities of each jurisdiction.

Record structure

Information recorded at each stage

  1. Stage 1
    Signal

    The dated authoritative information, its forecast or observation period, geography and confidence.

  2. Stage 2
    Trigger

    The formal rule or practical threshold that makes a decision material.

  3. Stage 3
    Authority

    The institution, mandate and level of government that acquires responsibility.

  4. Stage 4
    Commitment

    The decision, appropriation, procurement or operational instruction placed on record.

  5. Stage 5
    Execution

    Dated evidence that the commitment reached operations, services or people.

  6. Stage 6
    Outcome

    Observed consequence, distribution of benefit or loss, and the lesson for the next decision window.

Consistency across records

Requirements for comparison and reuse

Stable identity

Each decision period receives a permanent identifier that states its jurisdiction and preserves the relevant local mandates.

Distinct claims

The forecast, decision threshold, authority, commitment, implementation and outcome are recorded separately.

Version history

Consequential amendments receive numbered revisions, with earlier published versions retained.

Common formats

The webpage, PDF, JSON, CSV and RSS versions draw upon the same assessment.
