Methodology

Figures are extracted from the Ministry of Finance budget documents and held in a versioned data lake. Shares are computed on the gross ministry-wise basis, which is larger than the net outlay because of the netting bridge. No figure is estimated: where a number is not in the source, it is shown as unavailable rather than inferred.
