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.

South Carolina and Delaware are using the same dashboard model, but both are still limited by state summary coverage.

South Carolina currently has 2 promoted years and 2 parsed docs feeding the record.

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

What residents would notice first

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