Line-item detail

This city's budget book publishes department totals, not individual line items, so there is nothing finer to show. The figures in the league table are the document's own department rows and add up exactly to the total it prints. Cities that publish a machine-readable export — New York and Houston, for instance — get full line-item detail here.

How this was produced
  1. Fetched

    Downloaded from the city's official website and fingerprinted with SHA-256

  2. Extracted

    Read the FY2027 appropriation table out of the document

  3. Reconciled

    Our department figures add up to $19.34B — the same total the city printed. Extraction is discarded if they disagree.

  4. Human reviewpending

    Pending: a person checks these totals against the city's published pages before OpenGovs calls them verified

Verified Check

San Francisco 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.

Verification

Retrieved directly from media.api.sf.gov with the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded in the city's manifest.json

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.
