State comparison
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.
Primary state
Reasonable comparison
State comparisons currently lean on population and source-coverage similarity.
Louisiana and Colorado are using the same dashboard model, but both are still limited by state summary coverage.
Louisiana currently has 1 promoted years and 1 parsed docs feeding the record.
Colorado currently has 4 promoted years and 4 parsed docs feeding the record.

GovMatrix still needs stronger narrative extraction here.
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.
