Where the System Breaks

FP-001ACTIVE FRICTION

Overpriced Vendor Contracts

City contracts are frequently awarded above market rates due to unclear bidding thresholds and limited competition.

Up to 20–25% higher than comparable market pricing

FP-002ACTIVE FRICTION

Year-End Budget Waste

Departments accelerate spending in final months to avoid budget reductions, leading to unnecessary or low-impact expenditures.

Consistent Q4 spending spikes across departments

FP-003ACTIVE FRICTION

Single Vendor Dependence

Critical services rely on a small number of vendors, reducing negotiation power and increasing long-term costs.

High concentration across essential service contracts

FP-004MONITORING

Limited Financial Transparency

Budget data is difficult for the public to access or understand, limiting accountability and oversight.

Delayed or fragmented public reporting

FP-005RESOLVED

Service vs Spending Mismatch
