Audit Methodology

One rubric. Every candidate. Every promise.

OrlandoFirst.city reviews public campaign promises and asks one question: can the mayor actually deliver this?

Scoring categories

Mayoral Authority

Can the mayor act directly?

City Council Dependency

Does this require an ordinance, budget vote, appropriation, or formal council action?

State Preemption Risk

Does Florida law limit or block local action?

Regional / External Dependency

Does this depend on Orange County, LYNX, SunRail, FDOT, OUC, OCPS, CRA, nonprofits, or private actors?

Fiscal Exposure

Does this require new recurring operating funds, capital funds, staffing, grants, or debt?

Implementation Complexity

Is this administratively simple, moderate, complex, or structurally dependent?

Year-One Deliverability

Can meaningful action occur in the first 12 months?

Outcome Measurability

Are there clear metrics to evaluate success?
