Federal Accounts & J-Books · Budget Intelligence

How do you find out what an agency is actually funded to buy — months before a solicitation exists?

A solicitation tells you what the government is buying this quarter. The budget tells you what it plans to buy for the next three years — published, in the open, in documents almost nobody in capture reads. Federal accounts and what’s still unobligated in each one. Every agency’s obligation pace, month by month, against the same month a year earlier. And the defense budget justification books — the J-Books — down to the program element, with the R-1 and P-1 exhibit lines behind them. Real terms, because those are the words the people who work this actually use — hover any one of them for a plain-English explanation if you’ve never had to read an R-1 before.

Included with Growth and Enterprise accounts. There are two kinds of number on this page and we label every one: the corpus figure just below is real and registered against the platform’s own published figures, and the product screens further down are real captures of the running platform — over federal budget data exactly as published. The federal accounts, offices and dollars in them are the real record; each screen says exactly what it contains, underneath it.

What The Corpus Shows

2,178,793 federal awards linked to the appropriations account that actually funded them.

Read directly from the government’s own account-to-award reporting, never estimated or modeled. Measured 8 September 2026.

What’s Actually Linked
Every account balance and budget-authority figure is read directly from the government’s own reporting — Treasury and OMB account data, and the defense budget justification books — never estimated or modeled.
A comparison is always the same fiscal period against the same fiscal period, and the period is stated on its face — never an implied “as of today.”
Object-class-20 share is measured against the sum of that account’s own object classes, never against the account’s total obligated figure — a real distinction the platform states plainly rather than blurring.
An account absent from a given year’s own snapshot is simply not in that year’s table — never shown as a zero, which would be a different, false claim.
The same account data follows you: onto a buying office’s page (which account funds its work) and, where the government’s own linkage file allows it, onto a contract record (which account paid for it).
Deliberately Not Here
No verdict. Nothing here says “underspent,” “behind pace,” or “at risk,” and no account gets a traffic light — you draw that conclusion, not the platform.
No government-wide obligation-pace figure. A single curve would sum agency series that decrease as published, which would misstate the underlying data — so the platform declines to compute one rather than approximate.
No linkage invented where the government’s own account-to-award file doesn’t reach. Most contract pages show no funding band at all today, rather than an empty one standing in for missing data.
Nothing modeled or written by AI. Every figure on this page is structured government data, ingested and cross-referenced — never synthesized.
No blending of the two federal reporting systems — account execution and the J-Books — into one view. They don’t join cleanly in the government’s own record either, so the platform keeps them as two lenses rather than forcing a merge.

The Workflow

Everyone reads the solicitation. We read the budget behind it.

1Go Looking For It Directly
We read and analyze the budget so you don’t have to.

A solicitation tells you what the government is buying this quarter. The budget tells you what it plans to buy for the next three years — and it’s published, in the open, in documents almost nobody in capture reads. So we read them. Federal accounts and what’s still unobligated in each one. Every agency’s obligation pace, month by month, against the same month a year earlier. And the defense budget justification books — the J-Books — down to the program element, with the R-1 and P-1 exhibit lines behind them. Real terms, because those are the words the people who work this use; hover any one of them for a plain-English explanation if you’ve never had to read an R-1 before.

Where we stop

We show a balance and a clock. You draw the conclusion. Nothing here says “underspent,” “behind pace,” or “at risk,” and no account gets a traffic light — a comparison is always the same fiscal period against the same fiscal period, and it says which period on its face.

The tool itself: filter by agency, component and fiscal year, or search an account directly by title or symbol, then sort federal accounts by unobligated balance, budget authority or object-class-20 share. Every number on the page inherits one reporting-period stamp, shown once at the top, never repeated per row. Pick an agency and a second panel opens below showing its obligation pace, month by month, against the same month a year earlier; leave it on 'All agencies' and the panel states plainly why a government-wide pace figure isn't shown, rather than approximating one.

2It Follows You, Not The Other Way Around

Three places you’ll actually see it — never a fourth tab to remember to open.

The same federal account data reads three ways, depending on where you already are, and each one is scoped to what that surface can actually filter on — never a single view forced to do all three jobs.

01Its own tool
Go looking for it directly — federal account balances, agency obligation pace, and the J-Books, searchable and filterable on their own terms.
02On a buying office’s page
Which federal accounts that office’s work is actually executed from, each carrying its own balance — because no government source states “this office’s budget,” and we won’t be the first to.
03On a contract record
A Funded from band naming the accounts the award drew on — deliberately thin: the government’s own account-to-award file covers a fraction of contracts today, so most contract pages show no band at all rather than an empty one.

No screenshot accompanies block 03 above on purpose: the one contract-record capture on file happens to be a contract with no linked account, which is the documented majority case today. Showing it would depict an absence rather than the feature, so it stays text-only until a populated example is captured.

The same buying-office page shown throughout the rest of the platform, with one more card at the bottom: which federal account funds this office's work, its share of the office's own activity, and that account's own unobligated balance and budget authority at its most recent reporting period — the office's dollars and the account's dollars, shown side by side, never blended into one total.

In this image: a real buying office, with real federal obligation figures behind it. The vendor names beside them are fictional, the contract numbers are altered, and the named contacts are invented.

What You Actually Get

Everything Budget Intelligence shows — and what it deliberately refuses to.

A balance and a clock, not a verdict. Read from what the government already published, not modeled from it.

In The Product
Federal account balances — unobligated balance, budget authority, object-class-20 — filterable by agency, component, fiscal year, or a direct account search
The defense budget justification books, the J-Books, down to the program element, with the R-1 and P-1 exhibit lines behind them
Agency obligation pace, month by month, against the same month a year earlier, once you pick an agency
A hover tip on every underlined term — R-1, unobligated balance, object class — so the real practitioner vocabulary never requires a second tab to look up
Export the account view straight to a spreadsheet, with the exact search and filters you used recorded alongside it
Deliberately Not Here
A verdict on whether an account is underspent, behind pace, or at risk — the platform shows the balance and the clock, you draw the conclusion
A government-wide obligation-pace figure — the underlying agency curves decrease as published, so summing them would misstate the data, and the platform won’t approximate one
A “Funded from” band on every contract — shown only where the government’s own account-to-award file actually reaches, which is a fraction of contracts today
Any AI-written narrative or estimate. Every figure here is sourced, structured government data — nothing modeled, nothing synthesized
Account execution and the J-Books blended into one number. Two federal reporting systems, two lenses, never forced into a single joined view

Common Questions

Three things people ask before they trust a budget number.

Is any of this AI-generated?

No. Every figure on this page — federal account balances, obligation pace, and the J-Books down to the program element — is structured government data, read directly from Treasury, OMB and the defense comptrollers' own publications and cross-referenced by the platform. Nothing is modeled, estimated, or written by a language model.

Why doesn't the platform just tell me if an account is underspent or behind pace?

Because that's a judgment call, not a fact — and this platform's standing rule is to show the evidence and stop short of the conclusion. We show a balance and a clock; you draw the conclusion. Nothing here says "underspent," "behind pace," or "at risk," and no account gets a traffic light. A comparison is always the same fiscal period against the same fiscal period, and it states which period on its face.

What's the difference between the account view and the J-Books?

Two different federal reporting systems that don't join cleanly in the government's own record, so the platform keeps them as two separate lenses rather than forcing a blend. The account view shows what's currently unobligated and how fast an agency is spending it. The J-Books are the defense budget justification books — what an agency has told Congress it plans to buy, down to the program element, with the R-1 and P-1 exhibit lines behind each line item.
