Only reviewed policy choices are scored. Each independent decision family counts once per measure; choices within one budget or policy package share that family’s weight. statements, promises, absences and contextual amendments do not contribute. Two decisions are the minimum for a position. The sensitivity range shows the score after removing one decision at a time; it is not a statistical confidence interval or a prediction.

Policy choices over time

Date / precision	Person	Record type	Choice or statement	Source
2025	Brian Thiessen	Stated position	Supported completing the Green Line.	CSA: 2025 candidate survey · reviewed Oct 29, 2026

Votes, statements, promises and action milestones retain distinct labels. Dates preserve source precision; undated records appear last. Different proposals can explain different choices; a changed vote is not automatically a changed belief.

Statements and reasons for votes

Stated position · 2025

Supported completing the Green Line.

CSA: 2025 candidate survey · reviewed Oct 29, 2026

Why this statement was collected

A named candidate’s original answer to the same Green Line question supports comparison, including candidates without Council votes. A response is not a recorded programme authorization.

Stated position · 2025

Supported exploring more purpose-built student housing.

CSA: 2025 candidate survey · reviewed Oct 29, 2026

Why this statement was collected

A named candidate’s original answer to the same student-housing question supports comparison, including candidates without Council votes. It contributes no spectrum score.

Published statements are attributed to their author and kept separate from recorded votes.

Promises and actions

No sourced commitments collected

A missing commitment is not a finding that someone made no promises.

Milestones describe the evidence collected. Adoption, an individual vote and implementation are different events; a missing milestone is not proof that a promise was broken.

Policy leadership

No documented leadership entries collected

Sponsorship and committee appointments require an explicit source; a Yes vote alone does not establish either.

Appointment records do not establish continued service beyond their sourced term. Authorship and sponsorship require explicit documentation.
