How we know: the method, in four steps.
- Where the records come from. Public files, named one by one with their dates and types. The sources list.
- How we date and check them. Every count is tied to a dated copy of the file it came from, and the capture of each file is logged. Methodology and the capture ledger.
- What Auditor-verified means. A second, separate reading of a figure against its source before it leaves; a figure without the mark is unaudited and says so. Methodology.
- Corrections. What we got wrong, dated, and what changed. The corrections log.
