Measured DOHA timelines: median days from Statement of Reasons to hearing and to decision, from dates stated in the decisions themselves. Optionally scoped to one decision year.

{
  "type": "object",

    "year": {
      "type": "integer",
      "description": "Optional decision year to scope to"
    }
  }
}

How much time had passed between the most recent conduct and the decision, measured from dates stated in the decisions, for the incident-type concerns (drugs, alcohol, criminal conduct, sexual behavior, protected information, IT misuse). Reports median years before favorable vs unfavorable decisions, with counts. Descriptive association, never a prediction.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "guideline": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Optional single concern letter to scope to: H drugs, G alcohol, J criminal, D sexual behavior, K protected information, M IT misuse"
    }
  }
}

How cases with a candor allegation (falsification, omission, or lack of candor) were resolved in the decided record: the favorable rate with vs without such an allegation, when the judge found a deliberate falsification vs when the applicant rebutted it, and when the applicant corrected the record before being confronted. Counts and denominators throughout. Descriptive, never a prediction.
