Methodology note

Integrity Index uses a risk-score model where higher scores indicate higher publicly documented integrity risk. For the Mayors page, the first publication establishes the full mayoral roster and profile framework. Evidence scores are only added when a source-linked item has been reviewed against the published Scoring Criteria and Scoring Sources pages.
