Public Uncertainty Ledger
Unknowns Register
The Citizen Audit treats unknowns as part of the record. A gap is not hidden because it is inconvenient. It is logged so readers know exactly where the evidence stops.

Audit 002 known limitations
- Sections 8 and 12 coverage is dated to cited GAO products; full bodies are not yet deconstructed.
- FY2025 total exists in three official constructions: $326.38B, $367.71B, and $401B; historical-growth passage remains quarantined by decision rule.
- The approximately $37B EHRM figure is hearing-provided or press-reported pending hearing-record capture.
- The staffing-dispute quotation is press-mediated; no primary VA document exists.
- Chronicity of FY2025 material weaknesses remains undetermined.
- Deferred branches remain for joint VA-DoW accounts and the education-data outage.
- July 2026 currency watches may supersede dated claims.
- Volume II is a validated claim set, not the full 20-section charter.
Operating rule
Unknowns are not failures. They are a protection against false certainty. A public audit becomes more trustworthy when it shows what it could not prove.
