Suggested Next Actions

Extract direct ministerial commitments from oral questions into tracker updates.
Flag repeated opposition questions that signal campaign pressure.
Link Hansard signals to the relevant issue brief rather than leaving them as cron results.

Risk Read

Signals can remain buried in chronologically named cron outputs.
Questions without follow-up tracking may not translate into accountability.
