The Scoreboard
How the scoreboard works
Each week, the administration’s record is scored item by item. An item is one official action, announcement, result, or failure — scored Win, Pending, or Setback for the official responsible, with a headline, an attributed summary, and the primary sources underneath it.
- A mixed event is split: if a week contains a genuine win and a genuine setback, they are recorded as two items, not averaged into a shrug.
- Each official’s status dot and their Wins / Pending / Setbacks tallies are computed from these entries — they are never set by hand.
- Judgment calls are attributed. Where reasonable readers would score an item differently, the entry says so and names who sees it which way.
