Field notes
The project organizes 17 entries into four parts and labels each finding by how directly the public record supports it: “Documented,” “Strong indicator,” or “Indicator.” It says each entry includes the City’s account where available and a question for a council member. Its scale page compares Part A’s $2,563,256.33 in payments with $802.3 million in bills-list invoice payments, while explicitly saying the figure is not a measure of loss.
