Investigation Console

Deep-dive spending analysis grounded in the explorer's existing data model, with explicit warnings about what the data can and cannot support.

Payment analysis does not carry county geography.
Use this workspace for agency, payee, category, object, and relationship analysis on state payment facts. It must not be read as county-level transaction geography.

Dataset

Transactional state payment facts and rollups

What this can support

  • • Uses the transactional state payment fact table and payment rollups for statewide comparisons.
  • • Observed relationships reflect payment co-occurrence only. They do not imply contracts, ownership, or hidden linkages.
  • • Vendor enrichment is excluded from these calculations unless a page explicitly says otherwise.
  • • Outlier thresholds currently require at least $1,000,000 of absolute change and 25% of percentage change unless the prior base was zero.

Warnings

  • • This workspace highlights patterns in published public data. It does not prove fraud, waste, or improper intent.
  • • Payment analysis comes from state payment facts. County geography is intentionally unavailable at the transaction level.
  • • Confidential or masked payment rows are excluded unless explicitly requested.
