Evidence preservation and calculation method The archive preserves original XML filings and available PDF copies, organizational statements, dated filing-history observations, the older city HTML capture, and a current factual-field extract from the official project page. A SHA-256 manifest records the bytes of every source file. The source index links each transaction to its report ID and committee code. The transaction ledger uses the latest listed amendment for each ordinary reporting period. It sums each entry's Amount field rather than cumulative TotalToDate. Special notices are matched by committee, schedule, date, filed name and amount. Later notices supplement the completed ordinary history; unmatched historical notices are held outside totals. Mirrored transfers are counted once for each committee's own reporting, and are not combined as fresh fundraising. Names are grouped as filed, with no unsupported company, owner, surname or initials matching. Source metadata retains reported city, state, employer and business type. Debt snapshots are separated from loan receipts and repayments. Cash, donated services, interest/refunds, loans and returned transfers are distinguished. All 308 checks compare itemized imports with report totals, verify report arithmetic, or verify carry-forward balances. An internally balanced report can still omit a real transaction. Conversely, a different committee's reported payment does not independently establish receipt by this PAC. The case file therefore keeps the internal checks and the cross-committee $12,700 question distinct. The calculations are reproducible using analyze_filings.py and the original XML files.
