Key observations
Publishing a spreadsheet is only the beginning. Readers also need to understand the service behind each allocation, who owns the project and how progress can be checked.
How to verify
Connecting budgets, contracts and delivery reports helps the public compare promises with outcomes. Explaining measurement methods and retaining revision histories are equally important.

Editorial perspective
This article examines business and resource management: the relationship between costs, service delivery and continued operation. Distinguish revenue from profit and inputs from outcomes, and state the time frame and definitions. These examples promise no investment or operating returns.
