- Scope gap disclosed: the summary-statement page of the filed scan was illegible in text extraction, so no primary-government or reporting-entity totals appear on this page. A live-browser re-read of that page could upgrade this dashboard with county totals.
- Dated basis disclosed: all figures are FY2024 actuals; the schedules also carry 2025 budgeted columns, which are not presented as actuals here.
- County palette: no verified Stanton County palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a county color.
