Methodology
A four-step framework for civic accountability.
Our methodology is designed for transparency — accurate, reproducible, and intended to grow gradually across African contexts.
Define Obligations
We codify what governments are legally and contractually obliged to provide — translating statutes, budgets, and policy commitments into measurable service standards.
- Statutory reviews
- Service-level benchmarks
- Sector-specific indicators
Verify Delivery
Independent field assessments, public data audits, and citizen-reported evidence are combined into structured scorecards using transparent methodology.
- Field audits
- Open data analysis
- Verified citizen inputs
Identify Responsibility
Each gap is mapped to the specific institution and tier of government responsible — federal, state, or local — so accountability is never ambiguous.
- Who is responsible
- Budget tracing
- Clear mandates
Demand Accountability
We equip citizens, media, civil society, and policy institutions with credible evidence to peacefully and intelligently advance reform.
- Public reports
- Policy briefs
- Civic education
