OpenGovs holds this city's official budget document, fetched directly from the government's own website. Its numbers are not published yet — the document's layout needs a parser before anything can be extracted.
The document above is archived and fingerprinted, but its appropriation table has no parser yet, and OpenGovs does not publish figures it cannot reconcile against the document's own printed totals. Adding a city means pointing the extractor at the right table in city.json; the extractor refuses the table unless the rows sum to the total the city printed. See ADD_A_CITY.md. Screening result: Budget book archived; layout not yet parsed.
Verified Check
Billings can publish a live vendor register, itemized cards, and named payroll. While those files are current, the city carries a public Verified Check — the most transparent mark on the map. The badge comes off if a month is missed.

Billings's adopted book is not extracted yet. The simulator turns on once the city is mapped — same A/B/C upload, vs estimated, then learned.

Verified provenance means we can prove where the file came from and that it has not been altered — it is not a claim that a person has checked the numbers yet.
