How to use this

Open an announcement, resolve every named service and provider, then move confirmed leads into the tracker, GHL, JusticeHub outreach, or the next article brief. The goal is not another static report. It is a working map from public commitment to real delivery, real people, and real evidence.

What this is for

Use this register to turn government promises into a working evidence trail. Start with an announcement, match the named services to ABNs and CivicGraph records, check what funding proof exists, then ask providers and communities what the public data cannot show.
