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-ad760b88278c5844 descriptive
OneService lets Singapore residents report municipal issues — littering, pests, faulty facilities, illegal parking — via photo and location
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this file
What the mapping says
The 2015 launch release describes issue categories such as 'Animals', 'Cleanliness', 'Roads and Footpaths', with photo attachment and geo-tagging; participating agencies include AVA, HDB, LTA, NEA, NParks, PUB and the Police.
Caveat
The four examples are illustrative; the launch release names categories such as animals, cleanliness, and roads and footpaths.

Claim 7 clm-4833d8ebc5991767 quantitative

Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this file
What the mapping says
'The average time to close 90% of complex multi-agency cases reduced from 16 working days at end 2015 to 11 by end 2017.'
Caveat
Operator-reported figure without an independent evaluation; the gain reflects the back-end system and inter-agency work, not the app alone.

Claim 9 clm-aad7b02f27e13f7e descriptive
what shortened multi-agency cases was a back-end system that tracks every case across agencies and alerts any agency that has not accepted one within five working days
Published field
lesson · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this file
What the mapping says
The case study describes the OneService@SG back-end that consolidates all feedback and alerts agencies that have not accepted a case after five working days, alongside the outcome on case closure times; before it, multi-agency cases were 'lost in transit' with no central tracking system.
Caveat
The case study credits the integrated system together with closer frontline coordination; it does not separate the two.

Claim 10 clm-7778be999a1b4ee6 descriptive
A reporting app without that shared tracking only moves the question of who is responsible from the resident to the officer
Published field
lesson · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this file
What the mapping says
The case study notes that before central tracking, some cases took a long time and multi-agency cases were often lost in transit due to human error, even under the No Wrong Door policy.
Caveat
Editorial takeaway drawn from Singapore's before-and-after account.
