Presidential Integrity QuotientFirst 100 days
PRIQ Comparison
The first 100 days.
Four scores. One overall league.
Four category tables compare every published first-100-days assessment. The overall table converts each category placement into points: 10 for first, 7 for second, 5 for third, 3 for fourth, 1 for fifth and 0 below fifth.
Integrity · Veracity · Evasiveness · Entropy. Integrity and Veracity run from highest to lowest. Evasiveness and Entropy run from lowest to highest. Category ties use the adjacent score as the first tiebreaker. Overall points are 10, 7, 5, 3 and 1 for first through fifth place; every lower placement receives 0. Equal totals share the same overall rank and are displayed in Integrity order. Inauguration day is day one, so each comparison window runs from January 20 through April 29 inclusive.

Published record means the assessment is live on the site; it does not mean every presidential transcript has completed paragraph-by-paragraph review. Rankings can move as staged reviews add evidence-backed claims. Higher Integrity means a larger Supported share; higher Veracity means a smaller False-or-Misleading share. Lower Evasiveness means a smaller Misleading share, while lower Entropy means a smaller Misleading-or-Unresolved share. A low Evasiveness or Entropy score does not by itself establish honesty, knowledge, intent, or willingness to answer questions. When Integrity and Veracity are also low, inspect the verdict totals: a low score can coexist with a high False share. None of the scores is a general approval rating or a complete measure of presidential performance.
