Why it is not presentable

  • Quoted a figure the analysis says not to quote
  • Drew a conclusion from a figure without its caveat
  • A slide the judges rated as needing work

In detail

  • Slide 4 quotes 6,300: the unverified 6,300-signature petition.
  • Caveat missing: respondents were mostly weekly users (82%, against 21% of card holders), not representative of residents.
