NIK control reports (Polish) — official state texts

Polish state-audit reports ("raporty z kontroli") of the Supreme Audit Office (Najwyższa Izba Kontroli, NIK) — the published Informacja o wynikach kontroli, wystąpienia pokontrolne, protokoły and their annexes, taken first-hand from the publisher (nik.gov.pl, results site https://www.nik.gov.pl/kontrole/wyniki-kontroli-nik/, fetched 2026-10-09/10). Identical bytes to the nik_control_reports_pl shard of SlayerLab/polish-dynaword (Hub PR 117).

• Retained records: 4,576 documents from 2,962 controls (4,621 extracted; 42 exact duplicates and 3 non-Polish dropped at the build gates)
• Characters: 304,904,133 · cl100k_base proxy tokens: 121,183,078
• Time span (document dates): 2005–2026 (year precision)
• Text source: the PDF text layer of the published report PDFs (pypdf); not OCR. Scanned annexes without a text layer are not included.

License — evidence at the origin

• The texts are official documents (urzędowe dokumenty) of a state body — outside copyright under the Polish Copyright Act art. 4 pkt 2; the same basis as other official-document corpora in the DynaWord line. Reuse of public-sector information is governed by the Polish Open Data Act (Dz.U. 2023 poz. 1524) arts. 2(12), 5, 14, 17 (supporting context, I).
• Where the statement lives: the statute, not the site — nik.gov.pl publishes no per-document licence field. Provision quoted verbatim + hashed in artifacts/nik_control_reports_pl.license-evidence.json (consolidated text Dz.U. 2000 Nr 80 poz. 904, ELI PDF; raw-extraction sha256 recorded). Fail-closed: no CC grant is asserted anywhere.
• Chain of title: NIK officers / Kolegium NIK acting officially → publisher NIK (nik.gov.pl) → this dataset. No intermediary snapshot, dump or third-party copy.
• Caveat (material): reports quote party letters, audited-entity documents and cited rulings at length. In a recorded-seed sample (20261010) of 220 stratified documents, 184/220 contain quote spans of 40+ characters (Wilson 95%: 78.2–87.9%); quote spans cover 59.7% of sampled characters (regex measure, I). Whether art. 4 pkt 2 clears works quoted inside an official document is an open legal question; documents are not filtered.
• Names of natural persons appear as published in official documents (officers and audited-entity personnel acting officially). Pattern-level identifier redaction only: PESEL and bank account numbers → [PII] (146 + 3 hits; 0/220 residual in the sample, Wilson 95% 0–1.7%). This is not anonymization and SlayerLab/NERGAL has not run over this shard.

What the texts are

Formal, analytical Polish: audit findings, legal reasoning, statistical tables rendered as text; structured argument (problem → evidence → assessment → recommendations). Register: administrative/analytical legalese, not conversational. Only NIK's own published wording is included (no consolidated or updated variants).

How it was collected and filtered

src/fetch_nik_control_reports_pl.py — the public results listing is a JS pager (all /strona,N URLs return page 1; no sitemap), so the inventory sweeps the official record numbers (Nr ewidencyjny P|D|I/RR/NNN, 2004–2026, gap-tolerant blocks, journaled/resumable) over public detail pages, downloads each report PDF and extracts its text layer with pypdf (polite: 3 workers, 0.15 s delay).

src/clean_nik_control_reports_pl.py (tested by src/test_nik_control_reports_pl_contract.py, 11/11) — NFKC and the unicode space zoo, control characters out; de-hyphenation of layout breaks (słowo-\nsłowo between lowercase fragments); strona N z M markers and standalone page numbers dropped (section numbering kept — it is content); frequency-detected boilerplate (21 lines: per-page running section headers and table labels — exact-line rules calibrated on the shard's top-line frequency table, see the datasheet); identifier redaction as above. Clean run: 311,654,583 → 309,053,905 characters.

Known limits: PDF extraction leaves wrapped single words on their own lines and rare ligature artifacts (Ż → Ŝ in some old documents); document dates are year-precision.
