Abstract

Administrative dashboards display values whose evidential support is rarely audited. This study characterised the open file of incidents reported during July 2026 to Ecuador's Integrated Security Service ECU911. The analysis demonstrated that population normalisation substantially changed the territorial ranking. Three dashboard indicators that failed evidential review were used as validation cases for the proposed Neutrosophic Dashboard Indicator Audit (NDIA), under which each indicator is treated as a proposition whose numerical value and interpretation must be adequately supported by the underlying data and computational procedure. The audit distinguished between different forms of evidential failure, including a computational contradiction, a claim unsupported because no comparison period was available, and a case in which the reported direction was correct but the numerical value was incorrect.
