ROMSILVA / AUDIT / 27 AUG 2026

19 became law.
26 ranked first in the model.

HG 123/2026 set a target of 19 regional forestry directorates on 5 March 2026. Romsilva's organisational-audit presentation published on 27 August says the 26-region scenario ranked first across the tested weighting configurations; 19 appeared in the top three in about 74% of them.

What you get: separate what became a legal target from what ranked first in a model, and see why neither number is a verdict on its own.

Next: the calendar, scenarios, 14 criteria, result, and what remains unknown.

First answer: law and model have different jobs.

01 / the chronology

The decision came before the summary

05 MAR 202619

Government adopts HG 123/2026: territorial reorganisation targets 19 regional directorates.

27 AUG 202626

Romsilva publishes the audit presentation: the 26-region scenario ranks first in the tested model.

What the sequence shows: the legal target existed before the audit summary was published. It does not by itself show why the target was chosen or what will be implemented.

Before comparing the figures, define their roles.

02 / one figure, another question

19 is not 26 with a new label

LEGAL DOCUMENT19

a target for regional structure set by a government decision.

AUDIT MODEL26

a scenario compared across criteria and weights in an organisational analysis.

IT IS NOTa vote

the model ranking is not a public consultation and does not automatically change the law.

How did the audit produce a 26-region ranking?

03 / the audit mechanics

Seven scenarios enter one grid

The official presentation tests seven regional-directorate counts and 14 active criteria. Each criterion is normalised on a 0–5 scale, then different weight configurations are tested.

SCENARIOS10 · 13 · 19 · 20

four of the counts compared in the audit.

SCENARIOS24 · 26 · 41

three more counts; 26 is a scenario, not the law's result.

COUNT DIFFERENCE26 − 19 = 7scenarios

The numeric difference describes two compared configurations. It is not an estimate of staff, cost, or savings.

What does the ranking say when criterion weights change?

04 / the model result

26 wins the grid. 19 stays competitive

Results reported in the audit summary

“First” has a scope: first in the audit model, with the criteria, normalisation, and tested weights. It does not by itself mean correct, mandatory, or implemented.

What question can this grid not settle?

05 / what does not follow

The model does not rewrite the decision

IT SHOWS

sensitivity

26 stays first as weights change within the tested space.

IT SHOWS

a position

19 enters the top three in about 74% of configurations.

IT DOES NOT SHOW

legality

that the 19-region target is unlawful or that 26 is already adopted.

IT DOES NOT SHOW

financial outcome

the 924,000-lei audit cost is not a saving and does not prove a realised gain.

Interpretation risk: this is an organisational analysis, not an investigation of people. The page publishes no names and assigns no motives.

How much of the result can be checked from the public presentation?

06 / the evidence boundary

Rank one has a footnote

WE CAN SAY19 is the legal target; 26 ranks first in the published model.Two claims from two documents, joined by a checkable chronology.
WE CANNOT SAYthat 26 is mandatory or that 19 failed.The presentation does not publish every input, score, or later decision.

The value of this object is to hold decision and model together without confusing them. A region count can be a legal choice; the same count can be a model assumption.

The next edition needs implementation data and complete scores, if they become public.

Audit: official Romsilva page and PDF presentation.

The local archive stores the PDF and official page with hashes. The complete model scores are not reconstructed from the published material.

Recheck after implementation or correction

Earlier if the government decision changes, the audit presentation is revised, or complete score tables appear. Keep legal status, model rank, and actual outcome separate.

A decision can say 19. A model can prefer 26. Chronology keeps them on one page.
