Methods

Separate authority, evidence, and uncertainty.

DVR Signal is designed to compare an accurately sourced process baseline with reported experiences without turning every disagreement or delay into an automatic legal conclusion.

Evidence classes

Verified legal requirement
Current statute or regulation reviewed at a pinpoint section.
Agency policy
DVR or DSHS operational policy or manual guidance; not automatically a statute or regulation.
Participant report
What a participant says happened; not independently verified by the report alone.
Document-verified fact
A document verifies the fact it establishes, not every allegation or interpretation around it.
Agency response
A response or position taken by the agency.
Adjudicated finding
A finding made in an applicable adjudicative process, within the scope of that decision.

Survey representativeness

Any future survey will be a voluntary respondent sample. DVR Signal will not imply that percentages from that sample represent all Washington DVR participants.

Review the proposed V1 survey instrument — collection is not active.
