Methodology

Spending figures are extracted from published reporting and official government disclosures. When a range is given, we use the midpoint. All amounts are in USD. The real-time counter interpolates from the estimated daily burn rate, which is updated as new data becomes available. If you spot an error or have a better source, please reach out.
