How We Score

The Republic Index is computed from 5 weighted metrics. Each measures a different aspect of government performance.

Formula
Score = (0.30 × Delivery) + (0.30 × Progress) + (0.15 × Trust) + (0.20 × Budget) + (0.10 × Sentiment)
Grade: A (≥80) · B (≥60) · C (≥40) · D (≥20) · F (<20)

Delivery Rate

30%

What percentage of tracked commitments have been fully delivered? This is the hardest metric to move — it requires completion, not just activity.

Average Progress

30%

The mean progress percentage across all tracked commitments. Each commitment is scored 0-100% based on evidence of government action — committee formation, budget allocation, construction started, etc.

Trust Score

15%

What percentage of commitments have verified or partially verified evidence? Higher trust means more data points from multiple independent sources confirm the status.

Budget Utilization

20%

How much of the estimated budget has actually been spent? This tracks whether allocated funds are being deployed. Currently limited — budget execution data from the Finance Ministry is not yet systematically available.

Citizen Sentiment

10%

The ratio of positive to negative public votes on commitments. This reflects what citizens think about government performance based on their direct experience. Voting is open to everyone.

Data Confidence

We only show scores when sufficient verified data exists. When fewer than 5 verified data points are available, the score is flagged as "insufficient" and hidden rather than showing a misleading number.

Sufficient
10+ points
Partial
5-9 points
Insufficient
<5 points

Current Limitations

  • Budget execution data is still incomplete (budget utilization score is low)
  • Citizen voting just launched (citizen sentiment score is low)
  • Historical backfill is currently paused; the tracker focuses on live/current sources
  • Score auto-updates as new evidence becomes available
