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.

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.
