What is the maximum score?

100: four dimensions of 25. A jurisdiction with an in-force measure in every dimension scores 100; one with only proposals scores at most 32.

Why is the function versioned?

So that a score can be reproduced. Every snapshot stores the version, the inputs and the quarter; changing a weight is a new version, and old snapshots keep theirs.

Why do drafts count for nothing?

Because a draft has not been read from an official source. Scoring it would score a rumour.

Displacement policy index: how it is computed

Each dimension scores the strongest published, verified measure recorded for the jurisdiction in that dimension, by status weight; the four dimensions sum to the index. Drafts, unverified records and measures dated after the quarter do not count. Version 1.0.

A dimension takes the strongest measure, not the sum, so ten proposals score the same as one. Measures dated after the quarter's end are ignored for that quarter; an undated verified measure counts from the quarter it was verified.

Current scores

No jurisdiction has a verified measure yet, so no score exists. That is the honest state of the data, not a bug.

Index as JSON (every snapshot carries its version, inputs and quarter).
