Methodology note
Integrity Index uses a risk-score model where higher scores indicate higher publicly documented integrity risk. Scores are calculated from structured evidence categories, including convictions, formal charges, official findings, official investigations, ethics matters, credible allegations and cleared or dismissed matters. No score is published until the relevant evidence item is linked to a verifiable public source and reviewed.
