Sites assessed with a suitability determination (count)
Definition
The number of sites for which a site assessment record with a filed suitability determination exists, whatever the determination, except a deferral for want of agreement (det-deferred-agreement): that site could not be assessed. Each site counts once, however often it is re-assessed.
purpose
To show how much of the programme’s site portfolio has been through assessment, so that planting plans rest on assessed ground.
rationale
Assessment before planting is the programme’s first control; counting determinations rather than visits ensures an incomplete visit does not count.

- 2026 core indicator set: The fifteen indicators a 2026 project under the standard reports: the site preconditions and assessments, delivery and planting, education and care, and the survival family to T2. Every member is approved and served by an approved methodology whose records exist in the standard; the monthly and final reports are queries over approved claims at these indicators. Module indicators sit outside it.
- Process indicators: The input and activity counts that show a programme is running as designed: agreements, water and caretakers in place, sites assessed, sessions held, visits conducted. Curation, not a module: every project reports them.
