This presidency view groups curated Promise Tracker records by status. It keeps the records visible first, then points into Black Impact Score when you want a score summary built from the same public evidence base.
Records remain visible here even before they are complete enough for scoring. Open Black Impact Score when you want the summarized score view, then return to these record pages to verify the underlying actions, outcomes, and sources.
