Field notes
The coverage front page links to desks for the USA, world news, conflict, business, sports, and good news. The Follow the money section says it draws figures from Treasury, GAO, USAspending, and DOJ; its methodology counts the largest amount named in a DOJ release once per case when releases share a docket number. The Unrest map describes GDELT-coded reports over a six-hour window, with hourly rebuilds and explicit caveats about machine coding.
