You can add information or a comment below an article. Comments appear after review and are identified as reader opinions. Corrections and new evidence may change an article and its rating. Suggested questions alongside articles are for residents to use when contacting the municipality themselves. The watchdog does not send questions to the municipality.

Black dots express a watchdog assessment of concern, not guilt. Ratings are based on the stated facts and this method. An incomplete document alone does not establish poor financial management. A high rating requires evidence of impact; a large amount alone is insufficient.
Minor concern or open question with limited established impact.
A specific discrepancy or unexplained relationship; impact remains limited or undetermined.
Documented material impact on finances, a service or oversight.
Documented serious or recurring issue with substantial impact.
Documented exceptionally serious issue with extensive impact.
A documented positive example receives five green stars. This is neither an inverted concern scale nor an overall municipal rating. Neutral articles explicitly show 0/5: no problem is established in the article. Zero does not certify that the whole project or municipal finances are faultless.
We identify the document, location, period, known explanations and limits of the finding. We distinguish fact, calculation and question. Municipal responses, further records or corrections may change both the text and rating. Residents may put the suggested questions to the municipality themselves. The watchdog does not send questions to the municipality. A published question does not imply a refusal to answer. Local versions are retained; material corrections are described in the article.
The research prioritises municipal documents, museums, the Slovak Academy of Sciences and other institutions. Numbered links alongside the text open the original sources. PDF page references count from the file’s first page.
Watchdog approach: we distinguish facts, local legends, our own calculations and open questions. Documented corrections and explanations receive the same space as the original findings.
