State comparison

Compare two states by budget size, evidence depth, and what the current sources actually support.

This view is designed for fair civic comparison. It shows both fiscal differences and evidence differences so residents can tell whether a “better” state record is actually better sourced.

Reasonable comparison

State comparisons currently lean on population and source-coverage similarity.

Alaska and New Jersey are using the same dashboard model, but both are still limited by state summary coverage.

Alaska currently has 5 promoted years and 5 parsed docs feeding the record.

New Jersey currently has 1 promoted years and 1 parsed docs feeding the record.

The current state budget read is usable, but a few areas still need direct source expansion.

What residents would notice first

The current state record is not complete enough for strong analytical claims yet; use it mainly to inspect sources and coverage gaps.

Normalized comparison

Compare the budgets themselves, the quality of the evidence, and the parts of the public story GovMatrix can currently explain.

Bars show year-over-year budget change and parsed-document count. This is intentionally simple: evidence depth matters as much as fiscal movement.
