How to read this table

Qualifying activities counts each distinct Assembly activity (a question, a speech, a motion signature) that met the published thresholds. Uncertain assessments are not counted until a person reviews them.
Activities analysed is the number of that MLA’s records Jev has assessed in this scope, including those it found uncertain.
Qualifying per year served divides the total by the time the MLA actually served as an MLA in the period, so co-opted members are not compared with full-term members on raw totals.
Share of assessed activity is qualifying activities as a percentage of all activities with an accepted assessment (qualifying or not qualifying).
The Assembly did not sit normally until 3 February 2024. Use the date filter to compare only the period since restoration.
