Figures that don't name your exact selection but still apply to it.
The filter follows you. What you pick here applies on every page: each disease, the context figures, the sources and the obligation library by place. It is remembered in this browser and carried in the address, so you can link a filtered view.
Jurisdiction. Pick a state and you also get Australia-wide figures and global ones (whose source claims no geographic limit). Pick a country and you get all its states plus global figures.
Industry. Pick a division, such as civil engineering, and you also get figures for construction in general and figures that aren't industry-specific. Pick Construction (any) and you also get the ones that aren't industry-specific.
It never adds a sibling. A state never pulls in another state's figures or another country's, and New Zealand never pulls in Australian ones; civil engineering never pulls in buildings-only figures. A figure covering several states counts for each of them either way.
It's on by default because there's little place-specific evidence yet for most diseases. Turn it off to see only what was measured where you picked.
24% of the first promised cost: Final cost over the first promised cost, 836 Australian transport projects (Terrill & Danks (Grattan Institute), 2016; Australia; moderate confidence).
What it is. 24% of the first publicly promised cost, final versus promised.
Sample. 836 Australian transport projects of $20m or more, 2001-2016; $28 billion over in total; 34% of projects went over.
What it is not. Measured from the first promise, mostly before any contractor is signed, and paid by the owner (the taxpayer). The median overrun is 0%: a few projects dominate the mean.
