All phases
Phase 1: Data lineage and canonical definitions
Critical data inventory, risk matrix and canonical definitions for all key metrics. Harmonisation of methodology text with actual implementation.
Phase 2: Trust UI — quality signals
Unified quality flag system in the UI. Users should understand how reliable a figure is without leaving the page.
Depends on: Phase 1
Phase 3: Reproducible datasets — versioning
Dataset versioning with timestamps, metadata files and schema history. Every dataset can be referenced as a specific version.
Depends on: Phase 1
Phase 4: Entity model and temporal relations
Stable entity model with history for name changes, status changes and relations. Time-bound relationships between providers and groups.
Depends on: Phase 1, Phase 3
Phase 5: Automated changelog
Global and local changelog with categorisation: new data, corrections, methodology changes and schema changes.
Depends on: Phase 3, Phase 4
Phase 6: Journalist and analyst mode
Landing page for journalists with theme packages, method cards and export points. Packaging for quick analysis and citation.
Depends on: Phase 2, Phase 5
Phase 7: API roadmap

Depends on: Phase 3, Phase 4
Phase 8: Search moat — SEO and canonical landing pages
Canonical URL structure, prioritised landing pages with genuine content value and improved internal linking.
Depends on: Phase 6
Phase 9: Editorial interpretation layer — interpretation guides
Editorial explanation pages for hard-to-interpret metrics. Interpretation guides linked directly from data views.
Depends on: Phase 2, Phase 6
Phase 10: Guided decision support — school choice guide

Depends on: Phase 2, Phase 9
Phase 11: Public accountability and pre-governance
Public annual report, corrections policy, versioning policy, method policy, transparency page and open roadmap. Trust package for external review.
Depends on: Phase 5, Phase 10
Phase 12: Pro services — client portal, benchmarks and API
Commercial add-on services: client portal for school providers, benchmark reports and curated Data deliveries for analysts.
Depends on: Phase 7, Phase 11
