The receipts
Every number, checked.
Most budget trackers publish a figure and ask you to trust it. This one is built the other way round: every number is typed once, cited to the exact official page, and run through 20 automated checks on every deploy. If a single total stops adding up, the site refuses to build.

Thirteen tax lines — wage, turnover, profit and the rest — reconciled to one total.
Explanatory Notes · p.184 · reconciled - Cg 7MIncome tax
Not the same as wage tax (Cg 188M). The income-tax line really is this small.
Explanatory Notes · p.184 · reconciled - Cg 69Mfrom Cg 19MDutch project funds
A Cg 50M jump — the single biggest driver of this year's Cg 61M revenue rise (taxes rose too).

Roads, buildings, IT and the GEBE generators — one year of investment.
Explanatory Notes · p.191 · reconciled - Cg 5Mfrom Cg 13MFree cash, year-end
The 'surplus' hides a squeeze: free cash falls from Cg 13M to Cg 5M.

A number you can’t audit is just a claim.
Behind every page on this site is a single, typed source of truth and a reconciliation guard — 20 exact checks that the parts sum to the official totals: revenue categories to Cg 647M, nine chapters to Cg 637M, each ministry’s cost lines to its own total. The checks run on every build; if the numbers ever disagree with the official budget, the build fails and nothing ships. That’s the difference between published and verified.
