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.
Open Question
A-005 - Unpublished U.S.-capture share in international assistance
Open questions are published to keep the limits of the current record explicit.
Why it matters
Without a published capture-share breakout, the site can report gross taxpayer assistance (Total A) but cannot compute a defensible Total B for international assistance.
Current web-edition status
Section 3 states that Total B is materially below Total A, but not measurable from the current public record.
Record required to resolve it
Program-level reporting that distinguishes value captured by U.S. entities from value reaching non-U.S. recipients.

C-003 - Section 3
International assistance obligations and disbursements are not interchangeable
Section 3 preserves separate accounting states while carrying the unresolved beneficiary-capture share as an open question.
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.
