Report card

Where the figures come from

Historical values come from NYC Open Data. For matched series, the fiscal 2026 report supplies the completed year and its available revised history. Original values that differ are retained in the indicator detail. Spending and staffing use final prior-year actuals from the Preliminary Mayor's Management Report (PMMR) where available.

What the comparisons mean

The scoreboard follows the city's stated direction for the compared year. Exact equality is unchanged. Missing data, zero baselines, flagged figures and documented definition breaks can prevent scoring. Counts of indicators are not an overall grade for an agency.

What remains uncertain

Unmatched PDF rows are extraction gaps, not proof of missing publication. School-year and calendar-year indicators retain their own periods. Most chapter footnotes have not been structured into the data, so check definitions before quoting long trends.

What was checked

The September 18 audit checked 49,219 historical numeric cells against June source rows and reproduced all 238 original ratio calculations. Independent PDF extraction checked most matched numerical rows, with ambiguous cases identified separately.

What was corrected

The audit found reversed direction labels, a zero-threshold scoring bug, outdated spending actuals, misleading ratio descriptions and gaps counted as consecutive years. The build and interface now carry those fixes and regression checks. Five reviewed Department of Buildings (DOB) revisions restore figures that the automatic matching had omitted.
