Methodology

How the village data works

Every figure published on this site comes from one household-by-household field survey of Khai Hithar. This page explains how a form filled at someone's door becomes a number on a public chart, and the rules that protect the families behind it.

How a record becomes a statistic

Every number on this site travels through the same four-stage pipeline.

  1. Step 1
    Door-to-door survey

    Enumerators record every individual and household on the standard form.

  2. Step 2
    Verification

    Each record is reviewed and approved before it can affect any figure.

  3. Step 3
    Automatic aggregation

    Approved records roll up into household and village-level totals.

  4. Step 4
    Public reporting

    Charts on this site refresh instantly; identifying fields stay private.

The rules we publish under

Verified records only

A record affects no chart until a reviewer approves it. Draft and submitted forms are excluded from every public figure.

Identifying details stay private

Names, CNIC numbers, mobile numbers and photographs are encrypted and never published. Public pages show counts and shares only.

No percentages on tiny samples

When a group holds fewer than five records, we publish the raw count instead of a rate, so nothing reads as a village-wide claim.

Live, not annual

Aggregates recalculate as soon as a record is approved, so this site reflects the survey's true state at any moment.
