## Method and limits

The DA 22-774 appendix table is parsed from the PDF (application number, approved cost estimate, prorated allocation). Spending is the FCC page table for the period ending Aug 31, 2026, joined on application number (the larger value when a recipient appears twice). Status updates are matched by application number in the zip file names.

Not FCC disbursement records (claims reported by recipients, not payments). Not completion certification. Approved cost estimates can be modified later by the Bureau.
