# Illustrative output: progress evidence check

**Scope:** Single period only. **Intake:** Uploaded fictional extract. **Trend assessment:** Not possible.

## Evidence register
- `input.md#Reporting period`: Jan-Mar 2026; 42 people reported.
- `input.md#Evidence`: Attendance sheet lists 42 names; definition and denominator not supplied.
- `input.md#Narrative claim`: “Increasing steadily” and “on track.” No target or comparison supplied.

## Coverage and value reconciliation

| Indicator | Reported value | Source | Check | Limitation |
|---|---:|---|---|---|
| Farmers trained | 42 people this quarter | Attendance sheet | Reported count matches the stated list size | Completion rule, duplicate check, target, and expected framework coverage are unknown |

## Comparison eligibility

| Periods | Definition/population | Denominator | Basis | Eligible comparison |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan-Mar 2026 only | Completion rule unknown | Not supplied | Period value | No trend can be assessed from one period |

## Supported finding
The extract reports 42 names on an attendance sheet for Jan-Mar 2026. It does not support “increasing steadily” or “on track” because no comparable prior period or target was supplied. No causal claim is made.

## Critical Issues
- None identified from the supplied extract.

## Important Issues
- The narrative claims a trend and on-track status without a prior-period value or target.
- The expected indicator framework and completion rule are not supplied, so coverage cannot be confirmed.

## Minor Improvements
- Document the reporting-period basis and whether the 42 names represent distinct people meeting a defined completion rule.

## Decisions and data needed
Provide a prior comparable period, approved target, indicator definition, and framework to assess trend and coverage.
