Methods & Evidence

Synthetic demonstration data · not final findings

Approach

  • Design tiers: A randomised / quasi-experimental with pre-post, B pre-post with comparison, C post-only cross-section, D post-only case-based.
  • Evidence grades A–D describe confidence in the design and triangulation, not performance.
  • Sample achievement excludes comparison-arm completions from the intervention denominator.
  • Portfolio percentages use Σ actual / Σ target on compatible % indicators — never averages of averages.
  • For Tier C/D projects, findings are phrased as "reported change" / "observed association" / "consistent with contribution".
  • Financial denominators (cost per beneficiary, cost-effectiveness) require verified expenditure and are shown as N/A.
