""" Evidence-Based Accountability Dashboards for Policy Advocacy. These dashboards are designed to make elected officials uncomfortable (productively) by exposing gaps between rhetoric and reality, deferral tactics, and power imbalances. Each dashboard explicitly states: 1. The Decision Topic 2. The Conclusion (the uncomfortable truth) 3. The Quantified Factors that prove it These are for advocacy, not research.
