C-001 - Section 1
Executive summary keeps measurable lanes on their native bases
The opening section preserves lane separation instead of collapsing obligations, outlays, cumulative military lines, and domestic program examples into one number.

C-002 - Section 2
Methodology distinguishes legal status categories and number types
Qualified status categories, waiting-period rules, appropriations, obligations, outlays, and transfer values are treated as distinct analytical objects.
C-007 - Section 6
ORR is owned as a domestic lane, not an overseas add-on
Refugee and entrant assistance stays in one canonical domestic section so it is not double-counted against foreign-assistance accounts.
C-008 - Section 6
ORR provider capture remains a first-class unresolved limitation
The public record identifies the ORR lane but does not yet publish a defensible entrant-versus-provider split.
C-009 - Section 7
Emergency Medicaid is measurable on a federal-plus-state basis, not a federal-only basis
Section 7 preserves the measurable lane while carrying the missing federal-only share as an explicit open question.
C-010 - Section 8
SNAP noncitizen dollars are not backfilled with modeled estimates
Section 8 documents the eligibility framework and refuses unsupported benefit attribution by population share.
C-012 - Section 10

Section 10 is strongest on program mechanics, not on a missing published eligible-noncitizen outlay total.
C-013 - Section 11
K-12 and student-aid analysis is constrained by legal collection limits and eligibility structure
Section 11 treats missing education spending ledgers as a real transparency limit rather than something to impute.

Section 12 is a routing and reconciliation lens that guards against double counting once federal money passes through state systems.
C-015 - Section 13
The gap register is itself a finding, not an empty placeholder
Section 13 names programs where the record does not support a defensible citizenship breakout and refuses to fabricate missing values.
C-016 - Section 14
The conservative total is a reproducible set of subtotals, not one synthetic number
Section 14 is locked to a blueprint that preserves incompatible bases instead of flattening them into a false grand total.
C-017 - Section 15
Publication limits remain visible and binding
Section 15 preserves missing-record constraints as governance rules for what the audit may claim.
C-018 - Section 16
The final argument inherits the same basis rules and evidence limits
Section 16 does not create a new theory of the numbers; it restates bounded findings from the locked sections.
