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-037 - Federal-only emergency Medicaid share
Open questions are published to keep the limits of the current record explicit.
Why it matters
The site can publish the federal-plus-state emergency Medicaid figure used in the locked section, but not the federal-only share needed for a cleaner federal total.
Current web-edition status
The limitation is carried forward explicitly in the Executive Summary and Section 7.
Record required to resolve it
A public federal-only emergency Medicaid spending breakout for the same period and population basis.

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-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.
