Statistical performance indicators (SPI): Pillar 1 data use score (scale 0-100)

It belongs to Government Quality, Democracy, and Justice, the part of the welfare catalog concerned with public accountability, institutional capability, participation, and administrative performance. The exact stored unit is Index (0-100), the geographic presentation is global, the data publisher is World Bank, and the immutable numerical identity is WDI IQ.SPI.PIL1 identity. Candidate 90 is broader or differently denominated than “Statistical performance indicators (SPI): Pillar 1 data use score (scale 0-100)” in Index (0-100). Factrail stores this narrower source-defined measure, preserves the input wording in reconciliation, and makes no claim that the values measure the broader phrase. For catalog item 90, the provider definition is: The data use overall score is a composite score measuring the demand side of the statistical system. The data use pillar is segmented by five types of users: (i) the legislature, (ii) the executive branch, (iii) civil society (including sub-national actors), (iv) academia and (v) international bodies. Each dimension would have associated indicators to measure performance. A mature system would score well across all dimensions whereas a less mature one would have weaker scores along certain dimensions. The gaps would give insights into prioritization among user groups and help answer questions as to why the existing services are not resulting in higher use of national statistics in a particular segment. Currently, the SPI only features indicators for one of the five dimensions of data use, which is data use by international organizations. Indicators on whether statistical systems are providing useful data to their national governments (legislature and executive branches), to civil society, and to academia are absent. Thus the dashboard does not yet assess if national statistical... That definition controls the denominator, population, reporting instrument, and statistical meaning. This Indicator records an observed outcome; it does not assert why that outcome changed. Welfare assessment for item 90 uses higherisbetter. Higher observations are treated as better welfare relative to the dated comparative reference. The direction applies to the stored official measure after the disclosed transformation, if any, rather than being inferred from an emotionally positive or negative title. No mathematical transformation is applied before persistence. Keeping title, series identity, unit, scope, transformation, and interpretation together prevents the record from mixing incompatible measurement concepts. The numerical observations for catalog item 90 were retrieved from World Development Indicators (WDI) through https://data360api.worldbank.org/data360/data?DATABASEID=WBWDI&INDICATOR=WBWDIIQSPIPIL1&timePeriodFrom=2018&timePeriodTo=2025 (opens in a new tab). The provider landing page is https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/IQ.SPI.PIL1 (opens in a new tab). The research package records the access date, exact dataset and series identifiers, dimension key country=all, unit, provider metadata, transformation, and yearly aggregation label. The bounded Source and Evidence records can therefore reproduce which numbers were used without treating a generic homepage as row-level proof. Measurement provenance for item 90 follows this provider method: The World Bank world aggregate is retained when it exists for a year; otherwise Factrail records a disclosed unweighted mean of reporting economies for the same exact indicator code. The aggregation label on every point distinguishes those two cases. 2018 combines 217 reporting economies; 2019 combines 217 reporting economies; 2020 combines 217 reporting economies; 2021 combines 217 reporting economies; 2022 combines 217 reporting economies; 2023 combines 217 reporting economies; 2024 combines 217 reporting economies. The output keeps full numerical precision through NormalLine, deviation, and interpretation calculations. Display clients may round for readability, but the persisted value is not squeezed into a zero-to-one score and is not rounded before calculation. The item 90 NormalLine starts on 2018-01-01 at 100 Index (0-100). 75th percentile of provider-published reporting-economy observations in the selected series and dimensions. The calculation keeps the source unit, dimensions, and transformation fixed and is a comparative reference rather than an invented statutory target. For zeroisnorm, the value is exactly zero and is never relaxed because non-zero observations are common. For every item 90 point, normallinevalue copies that dated line and deviationfromnormal is stored in raw-unit terms as observation minus NormalLine. Arithmetic sign and welfare sign are separate. A positive raw deviation is adverse for lowerisbetter, favourable for higherisbetter, and adverse above zero for zeroisnorm. The custom governance score retains its provider scale and uses the public methodology explanation rather than title sentiment. The complete retained sequence is 2018: 75.1133640553 Index (0-100); 2019: 75.666359447 Index (0-100); 2020: 73.8986175115 Index (0-100); 2021: 73.6221198157 Index (0-100); 2022: 74.4387096774 Index (0-100); 2023: 73.8377880184 Index (0-100); 2024: 74.5751152074 Index (0-100). The first observation is 75.1133640553 Index (0-100) in 2018 and the latest is 74.5751152074 Index (0-100) in 2024. The absolute change is -0.5382488479 Index (0-100), equivalent to -0.716582001977% of the absolute starting level. The minimum observed value is 73.6221198157 Index (0-100), and the maximum is 75.666359447 Index (0-100). For catalog item 90, the latest observation differs from the NormalLine by -25.4248847926 Index (0-100) and is classified as negative under higherisbetter. That classification is a deterministic comparison, not a causal explanation or editorial verdict. A movement may reflect real change, altered reporting coverage, revised estimates, a changed survey frame, or several of those at once. There are 7 retained item 90 observations in the selected 2018-2025 research window. The retained observations satisfy the minimum temporal rule without interpolation, extrapolation, or forward filling. Missing years are absent observations, not zeroes. The sequence is intentionally irregular when the official source is irregular, because a smooth-looking line created by invented values would be methodologically false. The displayed global item 90 sequence has one consistent numerical identity: WDI IQ.SPI.PIL1 identity. No second source series is spliced into a gap, no latest value is copied into a missing year, and no country-only observation is relabelled as a World value. If the source later adds or revises an observation, the update must arrive as a new reviewed research package with its own checksum and audit record. A defensible graph edge requires an existing Driver, direction, strength, lag, confidence, and Source/Evidence that supports the mechanism. The outcome series alone cannot establish that causal chain. For item 90, importance weight 0.8 is generated by indicator-importance-rubric-v1. Its five committed components are directness 0.85, population reach 0.7, persistence 0.8, effect on human capabilities 0.8, and overlap control 0.85. The formula weights them 0.35, 0.25, 0.20, 0.15, and 0.05, then rounds to the nearest 0.05. The value is deterministic and reproducible; it is not an intuitive score assigned while drafting prose. Candidate 90 is broader or differently denominated than “Statistical performance indicators (SPI): Pillar 1 data use score (scale 0-100)” in Index (0-100). Factrail stores this narrower source-defined measure, preserves the input wording in reconciliation, and makes no claim that the values measure the broader phrase. The correction preserves all 120 catalog candidates as auditable inputs while refusing to fabricate a literal series that the selected official systems do not publish coherently. The resulting canonical Indicator may be narrower, differently denominated, or differently scoped than the preliminary phrase, and that difference is part of the record rather than hidden in a footnote. The 2018-2024 sequence for item 90 is too short for strong causal or structural claims. Cross-economy comparability can be affected by institutional definitions, survey coverage, modelled estimates, missing observations, classification practices, revisions, and unequal statistical capacity. A global aggregate or unweighted reporting-economy mean can also conceal distributional extremes and should not be used as an individual-level estimate. The item 90 NormalLine is a transparent comparative reference, not a claim that every jurisdiction has the same legal target or feasible frontier. The source may revise both historical points and metadata. Any later refresh must preserve the earlier Source, Evidence, checksum, and audit trail; it must not mutate the meaning of an already reviewed series identity.
