ACCU method integrity scorecard

Returns a method-level integrity scorecard for all ACCU methods. Columns include integrity_tier (high / standard / contested), chubb_affected (whether the Chubb 2022 Independent Review flagged the method), chubb_recommendation_applies (whether a specific Chubb recommendation targets the method), and federal_register_instrument (authoritative legislative instrument ID).

Usage

cer_method_integrity(tier = NULL, status = NULL)

Arguments

tier

Optional filter on integrity_tier. One or more of "high", "standard", "contested".

status

Optional filter on method status. One or more of "active", "suspended", "under_review", "superseded", "expired".

Value

A cer_tbl with one row per method (19 rows at v0.2.0).

Details

Use this to filter or weight ACCU aggregates, or to annotate a chart with integrity context. For example, an analyst reporting "185 million ACCUs issued to date" should, at minimum, break the total down by integrity_tier and flag the contested share.
