Revision Log
Presidential Audits is designed to be transparent and revisable. This page records corrections, evidence updates, scoring changes, and methodology clarifications so readers can see what changed and why.
Why Revisions Matter
Historical judgment improves when evidence is corrected, clarified, and tested against consistent standards. The Revision Log protects the integrity of Presidential Audits by making substantive changes visible instead of hiding them.
Revisions are not admissions of failure. They are part of the project’s accuracy system. A public revision trail helps readers understand what changed, why it changed, and whether a change affected a score, source note, audit category, or methodology explanation.
What Gets Logged
The Revision Log tracks meaningful changes that affect accuracy, transparency, interpretation, scoring, or public trust.
Factual Corrections
Typos, dates, names, citations, source corrections, timeline fixes, or factual clarifications that improve accuracy.
Evidence Updates
New documents, reports, court findings, primary sources, archival releases, or scholarship that materially affects an audit.
Score Changes
Any change to Achievement, Democratic Strengthening, Oath of Office, Corruption, Democratic Damage, or Net Legacy.
Methodology Clarifications
Changes that explain scoring rules more clearly, improve consistency, or clarify interpretation without necessarily changing a president’s score.
Revision Table
This table will record corrections, evidence updates, scoring changes, and methodology clarifications as the project develops.
| Date | Page / President | Change Type | Category Affected | Summary | Source / Reason | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coming soon | — | — | — | Revision entries will be added as corrections, evidence updates, and scoring changes are reviewed. | Pending documented update | Pending |
Revision entries should be specific enough for readers to understand what changed, why it changed, and whether the change affected a score or only clarified the record.
How a Revision Is Reviewed
A proposed revision should identify the affected president or page, the evidence involved, the category affected, and the reason the change would improve accuracy or consistency.
Not every submission results in a change. Some evidence may be noted, rejected, deferred, or moved to the Living Record until the record becomes more stable.
When Scores Change
Score changes should be made only when the evidence is strong enough to affect the category under the published methodology. The revision note should explain whether the change affects an asset score, a liability score, or the Net Legacy calculation.
Small wording improvements, typo fixes, and formatting corrections may be logged separately from substantive scoring changes.
Submit a Correction or Evidence Update
Readers may submit factual corrections, source additions, evidence-based challenges, or category-specific revision proposals. Useful submissions should include the page or president involved, the source, the proposed correction, and why the change matters.
