# What is not good evidence?

**General rules**

* The information provided does not clearly show that work was done in the month leading up to the report
* The links submitted do not work, so the project's evidence cannot be effectively verified 
  * E.g. Git repo is publicly accessible that will allow for review
* The report and evidence submitted is not in line with the Ideascale proposal
  * There have been changes made to the project in some way without approving the scope change
  * Project report is a duplicate of another previous report or another project altogether
  * The evidence contains projects description only, without any progress
  * Evidence is in different language than English
    * Process cannot accommodate other languages just yet
* Evidence is the same for different projects submitted by the same proposer

**Specific evidence**

*  **If image/video is evidence:**
  * Quality is poor - unable to watch/see
  * Image wasn’t taken within time frame of progression month 
  * Lack of description
* **If code is evidence:**
  * It isn’t in the Git repository 
  * Activity in Github doesn’t match what stated in progress report
* **If presentation/slide is evidence:**
  * There is only project description, no track of any progression made within last month
* **If plan/task is evidence:**
  * List of task completed in the last month or description of/list of tasks for the future month only ( there should be both list current and future one), lack of supporting evidence attached
* **If** **website is evidence:**
  * No clear evidence of new features/updates on the website and their description
* **What if evidence is deemed as insufficient?**
  * If a project submits MR before the deadline, there is a better chance that Catalyst will inform a project via email that there is an issue with evidence provided. 
  * Email will raise what the issue is and request to address, ideally by re-submitting MR with the required information.
