Where the city spends
City contracts, procurement, and capital commitments, and the vendors behind them. Built from public spending and capital-budget records, this view shows where Boston is putting money and which firms it depends on. We report what the records show and attach sources to factual claims, and vendor findings are review-gated before publication.
Vendor dependency analysis
We look at which vendors recurring across departments and projects, how concentrated spending is among a small set of firms, and where a single vendor sits at the center of multiple commitments. Concentration is described factually from the public record; it is not, on its own, evidence of wrongdoing.
Where a vendor also appears as a campaign donor or in another role, the Reality Graph surfaces that overlap so it can be examined directly against the underlying filings.
Procurement & spending signals
Procurement and spending markers surface here as the daemons verify them.
