Outlay

Federal contract spending — ingested set

Outlay shows how the US federal government spends money on contracts, using the government's own published data (USAspending.gov). It highlights patterns worth a closer look under written, versioned rules — it never labels anything as waste or wrongdoing, and every number links back to the official source record so anyone can check the work. The database behind this site is publicly readable, so you can audit our audit.
