Civic Intelligence
Scored frameworks for evaluating whether public deals, incentives, and notices genuinely served the communities they were designed to protect.
Public records often tell a partial story. A subsidy was granted. A permit was approved. A notice was published. Civic Intelligence is the BEI framework layer that asks the next question: was the process structured to actually work for the public?
Two scored frameworks — the Public Deal Test and the Notice Quality Score — apply deterministic, published criteria to public records. No verdicts about named parties. No assertions beyond what the record shows. The score reflects process quality against the framework — nothing more (PAT-035 / Humanity Ledger §2.6).
Frameworks
Six-factor assessment of whether a public incentive agreement was structured to genuinely serve the community. Scored agreements surface on the Public Cost pillar.

Nine-factor assessment of whether public notice genuinely enabled participation — or satisfied a legal minimum. Scored notices surface on the Disclosure Gap pillar.

Phase structure
Framework published
The scoring criteria, factor definitions, and weighting approach were published and available for review before any named project was scored.
Methodology review
Framework criteria reviewed against three historical public agreements — testing consistency and completeness. PDT-NQS amended to v1.4 based on calibration findings.
Scored output
Scored agreements and notices are now live on the relevant pillar pages. Every score cites the specific factor values and the public record that informed each. Entity responses accepted within 30 days.
Live pipeline
Scores update as new public records surface. Right-of-reply process active.
Doctrine
Methodology before scores. Framework criteria are published and available for review before any named project is scored. No project will be scored under a methodology that has not been documented in advance (EASTON-LMC-2026-06-17-PDT-NQS, APEX RATIFIED 2026-06-17).
Aggregator, not author. Scores reflect process quality against published criteria applied to the public record. They are not verdicts about intent, fraud, or misconduct by any named party (PAT-035 / Humanity Ledger §2.6).
Right of reply. Phase C scoring is now active. Any named party may submit factual corrections within 30 days of publication — 300 words max, factual corrections only. Responses are reviewed before publication.
