Build a Fiscal Announcement-to-Spending Evidence Tracker
Track a fictional program from announced budget through awards, obligations, and outlays. Explain why a headline funding amount differs from recorded implementation.
What you are building
An award starts at 100, increases by 20, then falls by 30. The revised award is 90, but that is not necessarily cash spent. Build a tracker that distinguishes announcements, obligations, amendments, and outlays. Link each movement to its dated record and export the remaining gap without labeling it fraud.
Rules
Administrative spending records do not establish program effectiveness or fraud. No fabricated records, source citations, professional endorsements, or expert-adjudication claims. No future-data leakage into dated decisions, model fitting, or historical valuation inputs. No unauthorized payments, account restrictions, regulatory filings, or production changes. No automated appraisal certification, tax-compliance determination, or unsupported fraud accusation. No concealed uncertainty or silently invented inputs required for a numerical conclusion.
How work is evaluated
100-point weighted review with safety gates. Visible starter cases do not establish full application correctness.
A transaction-level spending reconciliation pipeline. A report separating announced, obligated, and paid amounts. Runnable local application, setup commands, and a dependency lockfile. Versioned input data, data dictionary, acquisition instructions, and rights notes. Calculation traces, source references, assumption records, and exported review artifacts. A deterministic baseline and tests for normal, incomplete, contradictory, and failure-recovery cases. A recorded complete workflow with a reproducible manifest and explicit limitations.
Datasets
Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.
How submissions are scored
Learning goals
Map awards to the defined program scope.
Reconcile obligations using signed transaction changes.
Compare implementation stages without mixing amounts.
Export a funding timeline with scope and data-quality exceptions.
Resources
2 attached datasets, including two visible synthetic starter cases. The fixture ZIP supplies synthetic exercise inputs. It does not supply independently verified real-world records.
