TellmeTruth, open source ledger mapping institutional claims to traceable data
TellmeTruth has developed an open-source ledger called BA Score that maps institutional claims to traceable data. The score reflects the ratio of verified beneficiary receipts to claimed distributions, allowing for transparency in financial flows and program reach. The methodology is fully documented and encourages scrutiny, with scores being versioned and open to challenge based on new data.
- ▪BA Score is calculated by dividing verified beneficiary receipts by claimed distributions.
- ▪The score ranges from 0 to 1, with a score of 0.08 indicating that 8% of the claimed benefit is traceable.
- ▪The methodology is transparent and allows for replication using a spreadsheet.

The confidence band reflects source tier uncertainty: a narrow band means the evidence is consistent. A wide band means it is not. Both are honest answers. The weights, component definitions, source tier hierarchy, and confidence band calculation are fully documented. You can replicate any score with a spreadsheet. That is intentional. The mechanism is not ours to hoard.
