The Nepal Election Analysis Platform operates on a fundamental meta-thematic premise: Transparency requires acknowledging the limits of our own tools.
The Schema Bias
Ref: Section 170.1
Our CandidateRecord schema implicitly prioritizes paternal lineage (FATHER_NAME) as a primary identification field while marital status is proxied through SPOUCE_NAME. This reflects a historical administrative focus on patriarchal inheritance which our inference engines must navigate to detect dynastic shifts.
The Inference Gap
Ref: Section 170.2
Ethnicity tagging relies on surname dictionaries. While highly accurate for groups like Limbus or Brahmins, it struggles with shared surnames (e.g., 'Singh' across castes). Our platform explicitly displays 'Inference Confidence' to remind users that statistical identity is a proximity, not a certainty.
