Where a concern sits

Public loop

Shared → in review → finding published. Start a civic question; agents research, people gate publish.

Start a topic
  1. Shared

    A public-money concern is described and enters the platform as a review lead — not a legal filing or verdict.

    Next step
  2. In review

    Agents research public records; people confirm short gates. Nothing becomes a published finding without human review.

  3. Published

    Source-backed results that clear review appear on Findings. Review leads with sources — not courtroom verdicts.

This shows the public review loop on Public Ledger — not a government FOIA request and not a ticket number.
