Health System Organization Explorer / Methods and completion gates

Methods, evidence lineage, and completion gates

The explorer reconstructs who performs each health-system function, who controls each material decision, who owns and manages providers, how care is connected, and where formal design differs from observed delivery. Every collected material record is public and open to text-anchored reviewer annotations.

Current evidence and analytical mapping

Typed analytical population remains incomplete. This status concerns exact typed analytical objects only. It never suppresses a library candidate, queue record, citation, source-linked statement, exact context, machine flag, or review note from the public evidence surface.

Canonical analytical unit

Actor × Function × Decision × Role × Relationship × Provider or Service × Territory × Time × Evidence

This unit prevents a broad label such as “decentralized” from replacing the underlying questions. A staffing decision can have one actor that sets standards, another that proposes, another that approves, and a provider that implements. All roles may be correct at the same time.

Required dimensions of one organizational assertion
DimensionQuestion answeredExamples
ActorWho exists and participates?Ministry, district, purchaser, provider, professional body, community.
Function and decisionWhat activity and material choice are in scope?Staffing, service mix, capital, procurement, referral organization.
Role and relationshipHow does each actor participate and connect?Sets standard, proposes, approves, owns, operates, contracts, supervises, refers.
Provider, service, and territoryWhere and for which delivery object does it apply?Primary care, hospital, referral region, purchaser network, catchment.
Time and evidenceWhen did it apply and why is it shown?Validity interval, reform dates, claim, source version, exact locator.

Evidence-to-display chain

  1. 1. Complete materials registerEvery collected library candidate and candidate-queue row enters the public review register with its pipeline stage preserved.
  2. 2. Source versionRetrieval metadata and immutable SHA-256 identify the exact version.
  3. 3. Displayed evidenceAll statements, exact contexts, citations, locators, machine flags, and review prompts are public immediately.
  4. 4. Atomic statementOne independently challengeable proposition remains visible with its source lineage.
  5. 5. Reviewer annotationA reviewer can challenge source bytes, locator, scope, validity, ontology, duplicates, or conflicts without controlling visibility.
  6. 6. Structured objectExplicit typed fields populate nodes, edges, matrix cells, pathways, networks, or observations.
  7. 7. Derived analysisRegistered rules operate only on compatible typed inputs while the full source evidence remains visible.
  8. 8. Display and exportEvery factual object can reopen its claim, citation, locator, period, and conflict context.

Formal, reported, and observed evidence

LayerMeaningPermitted conclusion
FormalLegal and policy design established by an appropriate primary source.What the institutional rule assigns or requires.
ReportedA reviewed description or synthesis of how the system is organized.What an authoritative review reports, with its scope and limitations.
ObservedAdministrative data, claims, surveys, registries, or implementation studies.What implementation or patient flow shows for a defined period and denominator.

A formal referral requirement does not prove compliance. An observed bypass rate does not erase the formal rule. A design-practice result is permitted only when both layers are present.

Domain-level coverage

Coverage is not one overall country score. Each domain reports displayed evidence, direct typed mappings, explicit missingness, territory, and period. A zero direct-mapping count does not mean the institution or relationship is absent, and it never hides the broader evidence.

Evidence-readiness scoring

Eight independent dimensions use a 0 to 4 rubric. They assess documentation readiness, not health-system quality or country performance. The dimensions are never added into a composite score and countries are not ranked.

Independent evidence-readiness rubrics
DimensionUnitScore 0Score 4
Domain completenessdomainsNo controlled domain is represented by displayed evidence.Fourteen to seventeen domains have verified evidence and every critical domain is covered for the declared scope.
Source authoritydisplayed evidence recordsNo cited source is available.Every material claim uses a proposition-appropriate source and required independent corroboration is present.
Evidence-layer balanceevidence or source layersNo evidence or source layer is present.All three modes cover the declared critical questions and disagreements remain explicit.
Source traceabilitydisplayed evidence recordsNo registered source is available.Every directly typed claim resolves to a versioned source, exact locator or justified exception, citation, and reproducible lineage.
Displayed-fact verifiabilitydisplayed statements or exact excerptsNo proposed country statement or exact source excerpt is displayed.Every fact in the defined scope is an directly mapped atomic claim with exact source lineage, reviewer annotation and validation, and resolved validity.
Currency and validitydated evidence recordsNo displayed evidence has usable date information.Critical current claims also pass explicit supersession checks and historical arrangements are periodized.
Human review and conflict handlingdisplayed evidence recordsNo displayed evidence is available for review.The declared scope has reviewer annotation and validation, conflict handling, complete availability, and registered independent quality checks.
Observed-data depthobserved-data question groupsNo displayed source or direct typed evidence covers an observed-data question group.Repeated or current comparable evidence covers delivery structure, utilization, referral, and patient flow.

Automatic proof of completeness

These tests inspect every served country pack. A PASS means no currently displayed object violates the rule. Population is a separate gate, so an empty registry cannot use a vacuous integrity PASS to claim completion.

Requirement-by-requirement analytical checks

These checks assess typed analytical coverage, not whether evidence may be shown. An empty structured section does not hide its source-linked records. Evidence gaps remain visible rather than silently inferred.

Displayed evidence and the Indonesia review flagship

18217 material-stage records are displayed: 9918 library document candidates, 7388 candidate-queue records, and 911 public-stage records. All 195 countries have materials. Stage duplicates remain visible because each stage is separately reviewable.

Indonesia is the review-workflow flagship because its dossier exposes all 512 assigned materials, statements, citations, locators, source hashes, machine flags, and text-anchored annotation points in one place.
