MP Performance Scorecard

Parliamentary Activity

• Engagement: round(speechCount×1.5 + committeeCount×8 + participation×40 + wordBoost), clamp 0–100; wordBoost = min(12, round(wordCount/2500)); participation = MP’s mp_votes row count ÷ distinct vote_id globally.
• Attendance: round(participation×80 + (speeches ? 20 : 0)), clamp 0–100.
• Legislative productivity: round(speechCount×2 + committeeCount×15 + (chair ? 20 : 0)), clamp 0–100.

Financial

• Transparency: if no expense rows, 40; else score from party expense rank (top 5% of party spenders → 95, top 10% → 90, top 25% → 80, top 50% → 70), with floors when totals exist.
• Fiscal responsibility:quartiles by party spend rank (top quarter → 90, next → 75, …); +10 if MP total below party average (capped at 100).
• Expense efficiency: expenseTotal / (speechCount + round(participation×50)); lower CAD per “activity unit” scores higher (tiers at 5k / 10k / 20k / 50k).

Independence

• Accountability: start 100; −30 per ethics contravention row; −4 per block of 35 lobbying contacts above 50; small deductions for large donation totals received.
• Lobbying risk: start 100; tiered deductions from max contacts with one org and from total lobbying rows.
• Donor concentration: if no donations matched to the MP, 80; else penalties from largest-donor % and top-3-donor % thresholds, plus a small hit for very large totals.

Alignment & Access

• Responsiveness: round(participation×80 + speechBonus), clamp; speechBonus = speeches>5 ? 20 : speeches×4.
• Party discipline: disciplineRate×100 (from mp_discipline_rates when present; else default 0.85).
• Constituent access: base 50; +speech terms; +15 if any committee; +15 if not a minister.
