Methods, evidence, and data
Source traceability, coverage, citations, locators, source versions, and annotation materials are grouped here so the organizational synthesis remains the primary reading flow.
Directly mapped computable objects
Source-linked mappings drive the visible country synthesis and remain open for annotation. Canonical registries are reported separately so a zero in that publication layer is never mistaken for absent evidence.
| Object | Count | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Source-linked analytical mappings | 10 | Cited mappings rendered across the organization, decision, delivery, network, autonomy, and reform views. |
| Source-linked analytical object rows | 17 | Named graph nodes and edges, function assignments, decision cells, autonomy cells, pathways, and reform events supplied by those mappings. |
| Actors | 0 | Actors with explicit identity, territory, time, and evidence lineage. |
| Relationships | 0 | Evidence-backed actor-to-actor or actor-to-provider edges. |
| Decision rights | 0 | Actor, function, decision, and role assignments. |
| Provider organizations | 0 | Named or typed providers with evidence-backed ownership and management. |
| Autonomy records | 0 | Decision-domain authority paired with an autonomous-from actor. |
| Accountability records | 0 | Accountable-to actor and mechanism. |
| Referral designs | 0 | Formal referral, choice, bypass, and counter-referral arrangements. |
| Observed flows | 0 | Observed referral, bypass, mobility, or network flows. |
Source traceability and coverage
These six documentation measures describe the traceability available for displayed materials: domain coverage, public URLs, exact locators, source versions, and typed mappings. They do not measure health-system performance, source truth, institutional quality, or country success. A zero never means that an actor, authority, relationship, service, or activity is absent.
Documentation status: Explicit analytical mappings. All six source-traceability measures meet or exceed 80%. Materials remain open for annotation and country-specific refinement.
