The PMT Score Check offers citizens so****ing unprecedented: a numerical representation of their poverty as calculated by the state. This is not just data retrieval; it's an encounter with algorithmic governance. When a beneficiary sees "PMT: 27.3," they're viewing their household through the state's statistical lens—a composite of roof material, toilet type, education levels, and asset ownership transformed into a single digit. This check creates algorithmic literacy at mass scale, teaching citizens how the state "sees" and categorizes them. It enables a new form of rights consciousness—the ability to question why one household scores 27 while a neighbor scores 32, fostering demand for procedural fairness.
