Methodology — read before citing
- These are anonymous, unverified allegations. Nobody's claim is checked against records, because verifying would require identifying — and the registry's first rule is that no individual is ever identified.
- Moderation removes identity, not opinion. A human reviews every report and strips names, numbers, and identifying detail before publication. Reports naming people are rejected.
- Counts measure reporting, not corruption. A high-count department is one citizens interact with often and talk about — treat comparisons accordingly.
- Precision is deliberately coarse. Month, city, department. No dates, no office addresses, no names — coarseness is the anonymity.
