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.

Add $6 million for transit network service · Yes

A direct transit-service funding choice, but it does not advance the Green Line programme, so it is not counted as a vote on rail investment.

Reverse the transit fare freeze for the 2026 budget · No
