THREE LIMBS VERIFY AND ONE IS WRONG IN THE EARLIER MANUSCRIPT. VERIFIES: 'Overnight, 16,000 traffic police were fired, replaced a few months later with 2,300 new' patrol police. VERIFIES: 'In 2010, only 2 percent of Georgia's population reported paying a bribe.' VERIFIES WITH A TIGHTER ATTRIBUTION: an October 2010 International Republican Institute poll 'shows that 84 percent of respondents had confidence in the police, up from just 10 percent in 2003', so it is one named poll on one date rather than a general finding. CORRECTION: the earlier manuscript gives tax revenue rising from 12 per cent of GDP to 26. THE STUDY SAYS 25. VERBATIM: 'In 2003, Georgia's tax base included just 80,000 taxpayers, and tax collections brought in just 12 percent of GDP. By 2010, the income tax base had increased to about 252,000 taxpayers, and collections represented 25 percent of GDP.' FURTHER MATERIAL AVAILABLE AND STRONGER THAN WHAT IS IN USE: 1,110 local governments consolidated into 69; the number of taxes cut from 22 to 5; e-filing at almost 80 per cent of returns by 2011; electricity collections up from 22 per cent of billings in 2004 to 95 per cent.
D-233/D-234 compression pass (05r), 27 September 2026: APPENDED 27 SEPTEMBER 2026 ON D-235 ITEM 5. The row currently lists the limbs it verifies ('Overnight, 16,000 traffic police were fired, replaced a few months later with 2,300 new' ...). Chapter 5 now also relies on it for the stated correction of Rewriting the Rules' Georgia passage (first edition source lines 675 to 679), opened 27 September 2026: PDF p15 'It does not analyze areas in which government efforts are still continuing or may have fallen short. Nor does it suggest any causality between anticorruption reforms and growth or social outcomes.'; p25 'Firings and aggressive prosecutions of corrupt officials, competitive hiring of new staff, improved incentives and procedures, a new service culture, and automation all helped clean up the customs service.'; p32 'Video cameras went up all over Tbilisi' and 'Fines were no longer collected on the spot but paid at commercial banks'.
D-233/D-234 compression pass (05g), 27 September 2026: D-241 item 1, 28 September 2026: PDF pp. 26 to 27 list the ten cross-cutting factors, of which number 9 is "Harness technology" (e-filing of taxes, electronic payments for services, traffic cameras); PDF pp. 114 to 115 call technology "[quotation withheld, 7 words; follow the citation]". Chapter 5 v77 line 269 rests on these pages as well as pp. 15, 23 to 25 and 32.
