01
DEFINE THE PROBLEM
What must be established locally
Weak Service Reliability should be recorded as a location-specific condition—not assumed to be identical across India. Establish who is affected, how often, since when and which service or outcome is failing.
Scale How many people, assets or service events are affected?
Distribution Which groups, seasons and locations face the greatest burden?
Severity What harm occurs if nothing changes?
Trend Is the situation improving, stable or worsening?
02
ROOT-CAUSE DIRECTION
Test causes; do not guess them
Observed
HYPOTHESIS 1 growth ahead of planning Needs local evidence
HYPOTHESIS 2 weak municipal capacity Needs local evidence
HYPOTHESIS 3 capital bias over maintenance Needs local evidence
Outcome signal
service reliability, affordability and maintenance
A plausible explanation is not yet a verified cause. Check alternative explanations and the experience of affected people.

Evidence strength Insufficient No reliable conclusion yet
Verification Unreviewed Separate from evidence level
Source quality Not assessed Source ≠ evidence
Freshness Review required Data year must be visible
Conflict Not declared COI check required
Record type Problem claim Fact, finding, opinion or proposal
What we know
No verified finding is claimed until the source, geography, date, method and review status are complete.
What we don't know
Scale, affected groups, causal strength and likely intervention effect require location-specific evidence.
What is disputed
Credible disagreement will be shown by definition, data year, geography, method and source quality.
What could change our mind
New district data, independent evaluation, a larger sample, longer follow-up or contradictory evidence.
