Methodology and scope

JerseyWay explains what it knows, what it infers, and what it still lacks.

JerseyWay is an independent accountability platform built to help Islanders understand how elected States Members vote, organise, campaign, and accumulate public evidence, with an early Hansard sample surfaced where available. The product is deliberately explicit about partial layers so citizens are not asked to trust a black box.

Members tracked
49

Current public profile count in the generated dataset.

Vote stages tracked
173

Published proposition-stage records visible in the site today.

Evidence coverage
10%

Members with linked media evidence. Promise coverage is 6%.

Trust rule

If a JerseyWay surface is partial, sample-based, or catalogue-led, that limitation is stated in the route copy instead of being buried in methodology notes.

Current product stance

The site is strongest on members and votes, useful but partial on evidence and FOI, and intentionally preparatory on the interests layer.

Strong today

• Member directory and profile drill-down

• Proposition-stage vote records and filtering

• Route-level visibility into warnings, coverage, and methodology

Useful but partial

• Linked media and promise evidence attached to members

• FOI metadata and aggregate pressure signals

• Hansard sample and derived analytics

Not claimed yet

• Full request-by-request FOI corpus

• Complete interests and conflicts database

• Exhaustive historical committee, attendance, and speech coverage

What this site tracks

• Voting records and proposition outcomes

• Known committee memberships and parliamentary roles

• Jersey Evening Post coverage linked to members

• 2022 campaign promises where available

• Alignment, abstention, and majority-vote analytics

Current truthfulness gate
Finish now
Vote source coverage is exposed route-by-route with 3 CKAN year slices and 20 aggregate-only proposition stages carried by the official XML supplement.
Committee coverage is now framed with the exact bound: 16 of 49 current members have 46 member-attached committee links in the live dataset.
Evidence depth is measured openly instead of implied: media 5/49, promises 3/49, Hansard speeches 14.
Explicit limitation
Committee coverage is partial because JerseyWay only publishes member-attached committee rows presently available in the dataset, not a fully refreshed authoritative committee directory import.
Promise and media research remain intentionally narrow: 10% of members have linked media evidence and 6% have linked promise evidence.
Interests/conflicts are still a provenance layer only: 0 interests sources are ingested into live linked entities.
Hansard is still a limited sample surface with 14 speeches across 3 source documents, not a full sitting-by-sitting corpus.

Jersey Open Data CKAN datastore + api.states.je member API + digitalstates.je enrichment

Current-term member vote histories now come directly from published CKAN datastore resources where available, with digitalstates.je retained only for participation/similarity enrichment.

Important caveats

JerseyWay is built from public data and research outputs. It is designed to improve transparency and discoverability, not replace official records.

Before quoting any statistic or claim publicly, cross-check against the original official source, especially where CKAN datastore coverage is incomplete or official endpoints are unstable.

Voting alignment and strategic absence indicators are analytical signals, not definitive proof of motive. They are intended to help citizens ask better questions.

Members sourced from api.states.je authoritative API.

Current-term member vote histories sourced directly from official Jersey Open Data CKAN datastore resources.

Official Assembly XML proposition-result feed supplements aggregate outcomes where CKAN member-level coverage is missing.

Participation and similarity enrichment sourced from digitalstates.je member/statistics pages.

JEP and campaign promises merged from local research outputs.

Committee memberships remain partial because the live pipeline currently preserves member-attached seed rows rather than a refreshed authoritative committee directory import.

Party-level manifesto rows remain in the raw promise totals but are not auto-assigned to individual members without explicit evidence.

Hansard public depth is still a limited local sample until broader transcript acquisition is restored.
