Civic IQ Research
What state and local agencies are planning to buy, counted from their own meetings
Each brief takes one topic, reads every matching agenda and minutes item from a fixed window, and reports what agencies decided: where, at what stage, how it is funded and what it costs. The method, the limits and a CSV of the tables are on every brief, free to reuse with credit.
