Where a concern sits

Public loop

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

  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.
