Section 12

Replication Score

Replication asks one question: can we reproduce the published OEI number from source documents? It is separate from whether the underlying accounting basis is correct. Six measures are reported separately so a single figure cannot hide where the process works and where it waits on data. Every card opens the underlying rows.

Overall proof-of-concept status
GREENHighly automatable — results materially reproduce OEI

Every independently calculable metric reproduces the published OEI value, and every formula input carries page- or cell-level source evidence. Remaining gaps are missing-source items (submission logs), not calculation failures. Replication of the published number is not the same as validation of the underlying basis; basis questions are routed to Exceptions - Review Needed.

By test case

School-level measures

Replication is not validation. A 100% replication score means every calculable metric reproduces the published OEI number from source documents. It does not mean the underlying basis is correct; basis questions are routed to Exceptions - Review Needed.
Denominators exclude Financial Reporting Requirements for every school: without the OEI submission log the metric cannot be independently calculated, and adopting the published rating would breach the no-cheating principle.
