It seems to me that the big flaw in this is that if something isn't reported (deaths, DUIs, truancy, etc), then the Mayor doesn't see it.

“You learn to focus on certain things,” he said.
So he's focusing on things that are reported. What about the things that aren't reported? You can't just focus on things that are reported, you also have to see the missing pieces and work with those.

A weekly report of everything instead of an instantaneous report of 10% of things... I'm really just thinking out loud here. Not criticizing this at all. I think it's better to have some data than no data, as you pointed out.
