01 · Purpose

The problem

Public procurement data is difficult for ordinary citizens to follow across authorities and suppliers.

02 · Experience

How it works

Users search and browse contracts, inspect awarding bodies and suppliers, and follow money/decision chains in a ledger-style interface.

Original presentation/ledger workflow.

This archive records what the available project evidence says. It does not infer legal registration, patent grant, trademark ownership or regulatory status where that has not been verified.

07 · Assessment

Strengths and limitations

Strengths

  • Clear accountability lens

Limitations / risks

  • Accuracy depends on data sourcing

08 · Evidence

What this record is grounded in

  • GitHub repository: simonmowatt1-sudo/contract-tracer-uk
  • Repository README / project brief where available
  • Implemented home route where available
  • Published Lovable URL recorded from repository metadata

A published URL means the project metadata records a deployment address. It is not represented as runtime-tested unless a separate verification pass confirms that deployment.

Archive principle

Unknowns stay unknown until evidence changes them.
