Every entry on this Ledger publishes its evidence at three levels. The levels exist because the honest
constraint on the middle one is legal, not editorial, and saying so plainly is better than quietly posting
less than we have.
1On the entry page
Scores, verdict, adjusted gap, REI / LAE / AEC counts, factual-error status, the seven-practice result,
and passages quoted verbatim from the curriculum with their location. Free, no request, no account.
2The curated evidence file
A downloadable spreadsheet, in Excel and CSV, of 8 to 12 passages per unit.
The selection rule, stated so you can check whether we followed it.
The passages are chosen to illustrate every pattern the pipeline found in that unit, including the patterns
that count in the program's favor. Where a pattern recurs, one representative instance is included and the
full count is reported on the entry page rather than reproduced in the file. Passages are verbatim and
identified by location. This is a sample, not the evidence table, and it is selected by us. If you want to
audit the selection rather than trust it, request the full dataset at level 3 and compare.
3The full dataset
The complete classified evidence table for any unit: every extracted passage, its classification, and the
scoring decision attached to it. Available to researchers, journalists, and to the publisher of the program
being scored. No agreement to sign and no conditions attached.
Why it is not simply posted. A complete passage-level table reproduces a substantial
portion of a copyrighted work. Quoting selectively for analysis and criticism is one thing; republishing the
extracted body of a program is another, and doing it would expose the Ledger to a takedown that would take
the analysis down with it. So the full tables move on request instead of sitting on a public URL. That is a
real limitation on transparency and we would rather name it than pretend the curated file is everything
we have.
If you think a result is wrong, tell us which passage or which classification is wrong and why. We will
send the underlying data for that unit so the disagreement is about evidence rather than impressions.
Every challenge is published here with our response, including the ones where we were wrong and corrected
the score. A challenge that we lose changes the entry and is logged as a correction. Publishers who fix the
underlying problem can send the revised material for a rescore; the entry is then updated and both results
stay visible, because a program that improved should be able to show that it improved.
Every curated evidence file on the site, in one place.
