The dataset shows entities receiving substantial federal funding with no recorded business identity — recipients the federal government cannot independently identify.
Detection signal · recipient_business_number IS NULL or a placeholder ('0', all-zeros, '-', 'n/a', 'none') · is_amendment = false · total ≥ p90 of ALL recipient totals within the recipient's primary department AND ≥ $500K floor · publisher batch-report rows excluded · signal = total $
Glassbox surfaces correlations and observations, not findings of misconduct. Severity is a calibrated read on how strongly the dataset matches the pattern definition — a starting point for review, not a verdict.
● Observation
The match meets the pattern threshold but the signal is the lower band. Normal review queue.
● Attention
The match exceeds the routine threshold. Worth a closer look — pull the source rows, walk the citation.
● Flag
The match is in the highest band of the calibrated scale. Recommend: prioritise for active review.

Recommended next steps
Once a match is identified, the dataset suggests these review actions. Glassbox does not prescribe outcomes — these are calibrated options for funders, auditors, and program officers, framed as correlations to investigate.
01
Confirm the recipient legal identity.
An entity receiving substantial federal funds without a recorded business number is identifiable only by name string. Verify identity by mapping to corporate / charity registries and adding the BN to the funder's master record.
02
Check whether the entity has the operating capacity claimed.
TRACE's original definition of ghost capacity covers entities with no employees, no addresses, and revenue dominated by government transfers. For these matches, verify capacity (audited financials, employee count, physical presence) before further awards.
03
Audit the program-deliverable trail.
What did the entity actually produce for the funding? Pull deliverable reports, site visits, third-party verification. Ghost-capacity is a capacity question, not a fraud claim.
04
Update the funder's data-quality controls.
Many matches here are data-entry omissions (BN simply not recorded) rather than substantive ghost capacity. Use this list to clean up master records and tighten future intake.
These are calibrated suggestions, not directives. The dataset shows the pattern; the funder decides the response.
The dataset shows UNFPA CONTRIBUTION ACCOUNT received $15M across 1 federal agreements from 1 department — above the 90th percentile of recipients funded by Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada — with no recipient business number recorded; pattern consistent with ghost capacity (entity not independently identifiable in the federal corpus).
