Promises by office holder

What each member of the executive committed to in council, and where it stands. Counted facts only.

Counted over the 10 transcribed sitting days, 26 May 2026 to 30 September 2026; overdue as of 4 November 2026 (build date). Promises are AI drafts of what was said, each linked to its second on Promises; due dates are AI readings checked by hand; "City says done" is an AI judgment on City newsroom articles. Office holders are from the City's records (data/roles.json). "By surname": 20 promise(s) where the transcript gives only a surname our roster can't tie to one councillor (e.g. "Cllr Masuku": two Masukus sit), counted for the one who held an executive office that day; the 23 counted on 2026-11-04 were checked against the transcript, and the chair had called each speaker by office.
