METHODOLOGY
NétaTrack generates a composite accountability score (0–100) for each Member of Parliament by combining six independently weighted dimensions. When a dimension has no data for a politician, its weight is redistributed proportionally across the remaining dimensions — so the score always reflects only what is measurable.
Attendance (50%) + questions raised (25%) + debates (15%) + bills introduced (10%). Questions capped at 20, debates at 10, bills at 3 for full marks.

Starts at 100. Deductions per criminal case: heinous pending/convicted −25 pts, serious −15 pts, minor −5 pts. Acquitted and charges-dropped cases are ignored.

fulfilled = 1.0, partial = 0.5, in_progress = 0.25, broken = 0.0. Pending promises are excluded from the denominator.

Weight re-normalisation: If a politician has no parliamentary data, the 25% parliamentary weight is redistributed to the remaining scored dimensions in proportion to their original weights. For example, if only integrity and funding scores exist, integrity receives 25 ÷ (25 + 15) × 100% = 62.5% of the composite weight.
