Methodology note

Integrity Index uses a risk-score model where higher scores indicate higher publicly documented integrity risk. Scores are calculated from structured evidence categories, including convictions, formal charges, official findings, official investigations, ethics matters, credible allegations, serious conflict-of-interest or procurement concerns, and contextual cleared or dismissed matters. Cleared or contextualised matters do not create negative points. No score is published until the relevant evidence item is linked to a verifiable public source and reviewed.
