How is New York doing on its promises? Five promises, tracked in the city's own data: what was said, the number it has to hit, the date it has to hit it by, and where it stands - with scoring rules locked before any results exist. A promise becomes a measure when it has a named source, a numeric target, a deadline, and public data to score it with. Scoring rules are locked before any results exist, and the same method applies to whoever is in City Hall.
