Status definitions
How a status is set
Each pledge is classified from a dossier of cited public reporting (government releases, Statistics Canada, Parliament's bill tracker, and major outlets). An AI model (DeepSeek) analyses only that dossier — never its own training memory — and the reasoning behind every verdict, with source quotes, is kept in an open audit file.
A pledge's progress % is an analytic estimate derived from the cited facts — not a measured value. Where sourced reporting is insufficient, a pledge is marked Not Started rather than guessed.
Independence & data
This is a non-partisan accountability tool — it tracks delivery against the published platform, not whether a promise was wise. Kept and Broken verdicts are shown on equal footing.
Vote share is a monthly average of published polls; approval is the Angus Reid Institute approve rating; macro indicators are live from the Bank of Canada and Statistics Canada.
