Protection contrast
From observed pressure to protective conditions
The contrast interprets each verified measure without converting it into a city grade, causal claim, or judgment about an individual child.

Axis one
Protective Conditions Around Youth
Evidence-readiness labels describe the record, not Baltimore City or its young people. Local records appear only after official definitions are documented.
Axis two
Institutional Response
The current “not comparable” state is a research finding. It prevents justice practices from being guessed from neighborhood or economic conditions.
Evidence into service
Reporting and pathways readers can use
Only explicit evidence relationships and verified official entry points appear here. A related article is context; a pathway is a starting point, not a promise of access.

Definition work
What can—and cannot—be aligned
Each row states the measure we would need and the boundary blocking publication. “Candidate pair” does not mean the values are already comparable.
Review the method before expansion
Youth advisers, researchers, practitioners, and local data experts can challenge a definition, identify a missing official record, or flag a misleading comparison. Feedback enters human review and never changes public data automatically.
