- Revised -- Revised Estimate (mid-year adjustment)
- Spent -- Actual expenditure
- Utilization rate -- Spent / Allocated (%)
Baseline vs. latest values for key outcome indicators per scheme, with direction (higher/lower is better) and data source.
python scripts/analysis/budget_analysis.pyOutputs:
- Sector-wise spending summary
- Top schemes ranked by allocation

- Utilization heatmap across all schemes and years
python scripts/analysis/scheme_performance.pyOutputs:
- Indicator progress (baseline to latest, improving/worsening)
