Source-backed correlation review of public data to identify potential connections between public grants/awards and campaign contributions Grants and awards from public entities to businesses, and campaign contributions from those businesses or related entities to public officials or committees Topic: I want Public Ledger to review whether public grants or awards in Illinois/Chicago went to businesses whose owners or related entities made public campaign contributions to officials or committees that later influenced those awards. Treat this as a source-backed correlation review, not an accusation of illegal quid pro quo.

Where a concern sits

Public loop

Shared → in review → finding published. Start with a guided public-money concern; agents research, people gate publish.

Share a public concern
  1. Shared

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

    Next stage
  2. In review

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

    Upcoming stage
  3. Published

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

    Upcoming stage

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