Project level

2,407 projects scanned, 1,674 above the floor

Projects are the summable leaves of a program element: the PE total is exactly their sum, in every year. So this ranking is complete at its own level and must never be read alongside the activity ranking below — a PE, its project and that project's activity are one dollar wearing three hats. 3 rows above the floor are exactly flat and appear in no bucket.

Growing

730 projects grow into FY2027

Ranked on budget year minus current year, in dollars — percent is unusable raw here, where the top percentage grower moves +121,951% on a $0.13M base.

Shrinking

792 projects shrink or terminate

Ranked on the same dollar delta, most negative first. Terminations — budget year zero — are in this bucket and are the most actionable rows on it, which is why the floor is taken on the larger of the two years rather than on the request alone.

Showing 50 of 792 eligible Cap top 50 Floor $5.0M, on the larger of the current and budget year This is the top 50 rows, not the bucket — do not total the column. MEASURED on this vintage: the visible 50 cuts are 45.9% of eligible cut dollars, so a reader who totals them is off by 2.2x.

Restarts

27 projects restart in FY2027

Funded before, zeroed in the current year, funded again now. A restart has an incumbent and a new start does not — and with a zero current year there is no percentage to quote, which is why these rows appeared in no bucket at all until the builder learned to flag them.

Activity level

5,735 activities scanned, 2,851 above the floor

Activity coverage is partial — 148 funded projects publish no activities at all — so this list carries counts, never a dollar total. An activity's delta can legitimately exceed its own parent project's, because the R-2A lines partition the project exactly in the request year but can under-cover it in the current year. 24 rows above the floor are exactly flat and appear in no bucket.

Growing

1,181 activities grow into FY2027

Ranked on budget year minus current year, in dollars — percent is unusable raw here, where the top percentage grower moves +121,951% on a $0.13M base.

Method

How these lists are built, in the builder's own words

Emitted with the data, not written for this page — if the rule changes, this text changes with it.

pe-movers.json · rule

One level per list. A program element is exactly the sum of its projects, and a project exactly the sum of its activities in the request year where activities exist, so levels must never be merged into one ranking or summed together. Program-element movement is in pe-index.json, not here. Activity coverage is partial (148 funded projects have no activities): count activities, never total their dollars. In the CURRENT year activities under-cover their project in ~9% of cases, so an activity's delta can exceed its parent's — never compare the two lists row to row. The four buckets partition the eligible rows and never overlap: growers and cuts are the two signs of growth, which exists only when the current year is non-zero; new_starts and restarts are the two ways a line can have a zero current year and budget-year money. A restart was funded before, zeroed, and funded again — it has an incumbent and a new start does not. Every bucket is capped at top_n; `eligible` carries the count before the cap and a renderer must show it. `is_new` and `is_restart` absent mean false.

Program-element movement is not here

Deliberately: PE-level movement rides pe-index.json and is surfaced on the program directory, so no single file lets a caller merge all three levels into one double-counted ranking.
