Claims, one by one

The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-c9b3046a482f5c53 quantitative
Launched January 2016, Boston's CityScore compiles daily metrics — 311 response times, fire/EMS response, school attendance — into a single number versus target

What the mapping says
WBUR reported the public launch on 15 January 2016. The city's own page lists what the score aggregates and states the update cadence: 'daily scores update every Monday, monthly scores update on the 1st of each month, and quarterly scores on the 1st of each quarter.'

Claim 2 clm-53ad1e46f307273d quantitative
After it flagged strained EMS response times, the next city budget funded a new class of 20 EMTs and 10 replacement ambulances

snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Verbatim from the city's own page: 'the EMS budget had not grown to allow them to hire more EMTs and replace aging ambulances. Hearing this, the Mayor prioritized funding in the next City budget for EMS to train a new class of 20 EMTs and buy 10 replacement ambulances.'
Caveat
The city names 'the next City budget'; which fiscal year that was is not stated on the page and is not inferred here.

Official dashboard page: the metrics tracked, the update cadence, and the EMT and ambulance case study in the city's own words. No publication date is recorded here: boston.gov serves the same CMS timestamp (22 November 2019) on unrelated pages, which dates a platform migration rather than the page.

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
