OPRAmachine Statistics
Here you can see how well public bodies have responded to requests on OPRAmachine and meet the people most actively using it. You can also find statistics about requests over time.
Public Bodies
This section on public body statistics is currently experimental, so there are some caveats that should be borne in mind:
- The percentages are calculated with respect to the total number of requests, which includes invalid requests; this is a known problem that will be fixed in a later release.
- The classification of requests (e.g. to say whether they were successful or not) is done manually by users and administrators of the site, which means that they are subject to error.
- Requests are considered successful if they were classified as either 'Successful' or 'Partially Successful'.
- Requests are considered overdue if they are in the 'Overdue' or 'Very Overdue' states.
- The error bars shown are 95% confidence intervals for the hypothesized underlying proportion (i.e. that which you would obtain by making an infinite number of requests through this site to that authority). In other words, the population being sampled is all the current and future requests to the authority through this site, rather than, say, all requests that have been made to the public body by any means.
- Hidden requests are not counted. Unclassified requests do not count towards the percentages.
These graphs were partly inspired by some statistics that Mark Goodge produced for WhatDoTheyKnow, so thanks are due to him.

Requests
Hidden
From time to time requests need to be hidden on OPRAmachine. This can happen for a number of reasons. For example, the request could be about someone’s personal information that shouldn’t be public or the contents could be abusive.
Here you can see how often OPRAmachine administrators have hidden requests.
