| Metric ID | Metric | Coverage Dimension | Final Recommendation | Review Result | Rationale | Next Step |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NDD-MET-027 | Emergency and supplemental spending impact | Emergency/supplemental exposure | KEEP REVIEW ONLY | REVIEW ONLY NOT MERGED | Keep outside the candidate display because emergency/supplemental spending can be useful context, but the method must distinguish enacted supplemental authority, timing, rescissions, offsets, ordinary appropriations, and budgetary effects before any display or scoring use. | Retain as review-only context. Revisit only if a disciplined source method is later needed. |
| NDD-MET-028 | Temporary, one-time, or emergency fiscal adjustment context | Fiscal adjustment / unusual-event context | KEEP REVIEW ONLY | SOURCE METHOD REVIEW COMPLETE REVIEW ONLY NOT MERGED | The source-method review concluded this is best handled as explanatory context, not a numeric candidate metric. Temporary, one-time, emergency, timing, and accounting adjustments can explain fiscal movement but can become subjective or misleading if converted into a display metric or scoring factor. | Keep review-only as a narrative/context-control item. Do not merge into the 29-row candidate display. |
| NDD-MET-032 | Debt sustainability projection risk context | Long-term fiscal risk context | KEEP REVIEW ONLY | REVIEW ONLY NOT MERGED | Long-term projection risk is useful explanatory context, but it is highly model-dependent. Keep review-only unless a later gate approves the projection horizon, baseline version, uncertainty language, and display rules. | Retain as review-only long-term context. Do not merge into candidate display at this phase. |
Interpretation: the candidate/context metrics phase is complete enough for public/reviewer display with 29 approved rows, while the final 3 residual items remain documented as review-only context.
