What this index measures:
Whether the government of this administrative unit follows its own rules. The law requires public participation forums before passing budgets, timely responses to audit queries, proper procurement procedures, and key documents tabled on schedule. We track how often these legal requirements are actually met. A high score means a clean process. A low score means required steps are being skipped.

Technical definition:
Measures whether the administrative unit follows its own legally mandated processes — procurement procedures, public participation requirements, statutory reporting deadlines, budget approval timelines, and audit response obligations.

How to read the score: Derived from the ratio of compliant processes to total required processes, adjusted for materiality of non-compliance and recurrence.

Primary data sources: National audit institutions, controller of budget reports, legislative records, procurement portals, court orders on administrative compliance.
