How to read these figures

These figures are grant awards, funding decisions, or commitments as published by the organisation — not verified cash paid out, and not a complete picture of all funding activity.

An award or offer does not guarantee the full amount was drawn down or paid. Payments may be lower than the award, staged over several years, conditional on milestones, reduced after the decision, or not taken up at all. Some boards publish decision amounts that later change.

Coverage and quality vary by scheme and year. Recipient names are free text, descriptions are inconsistent, and source files (HTML listings, PDFs, open-data dumps) are of uneven quality. Automated extraction can introduce gaps or misreads. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive payments ledger.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
