Aggregating recommendations across live detectors
The dataset shows 50 entities that received ≥$500K in federal funding then went silent in the corpus for ≥36 months — totalling $66.7B in distributed funds. 24 have been silent ≥6 years. Silence is not evidence of incompletion, but it is the signal to verify deliverable closeout, final-report submission, and (where applicable) funds returned. The recommendation is grounded in 50 pattern-detector matches across the federal corpus. Each cited match links back to specific source rows; an auditor walking the citation can verify every dollar in the headline.
Recoverable / prevention rate (3.0%) and indirect-cost rate (1.8%) are calibrated category-level defaults grounded in published auditor benchmarks. Implementation cost is a calibrated point estimate based on category complexity. Funders should refine all three with their own historical recovery data.
Funds disbursed to recipients with no subsequent reporting may trigger comptroller review under the Financial Administration Act.
Closeout backlog grows; deliverable verification is harder the further from the agreement period the audit happens.
Recipients receiving substantial public funds and disappearing from the public record is the canonical accountability narrative.
