PPE and Civic Thought Programs
Preliminary CTREE 2026 dashboard
Note
This is a preliminary working dashboard built from the frozen canonical dataset at outputs/ctree_2026/data_freeze_2026-05-16. It uses Simon’s wide-net rule: approved/future and legacy/deceased programs remain included when evidence supports the program, but they are flagged rather than treated as ordinary active programs.

Requirements Coverage
Economics Requirements
The economics chart counts a requirement only when the course-coded row marks it as explicitly required. Programs with partial or existence-only collection are therefore treated as missing on this display, not as requiring zero economics.

Audit Notes
| Check | Value |
|---|---|
| Frozen raw program rows | 757 |
| Rows available for analysis | 756 |
| Malformed registry rows quarantined from dashboard analysis | 1 |
The dashboard is intentionally conservative about curricular conclusions: missing course requirements remain missing. The next analysis pass should decide whether to restrict economics-requirement rates to course-coded programs only, report both denominators, or model missingness directly.
