Key takeaways
- A good decision and a good outcome are different things; only the process is governable.
- Five dimensions auditable against documents; a simple scale; an annual sample.
- Dimension 5 — how will we know if we were wrong? — is the highest-return intervention at zero cost.
- The recorded objection with mandatory response is the documentary antidote to the pattern behind every major failure.
- The boundary is the instrument's lifeline: process yes, merit never.
The state measures outcomes, outputs, and budget execution. The one thing it never measures is what everything depends on: the quality of how it decides. Five dimensions auditable in the case file — and a distinction that changes incentives.
