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-028 - SSI point-in-time basis versus annual flow basis
Open questions are published to keep the limits of the current record explicit.
Why it matters
The SSI figure is computed from a published December 2021 basis, which is strong for that point in time but not a full annual transactional ledger.
Current web-edition status
Section 9 keeps the figure labeled on its Dec. 2021 basis and avoids overstating it as a harmonized annual program total.
Record required to resolve it
A published annual SSI spending breakout for noncitizen recipients or a fully reconciled monthly series.

C-011 - Section 9
SSI is one of the clearest direct-cash domestic lanes
The current edition relies on SSA-published noncitizen recipient and payment inputs while preserving the point-in-time limitation.
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.
