How we test what City Hall can actually do.

Before the audit evaluates ambition, it evaluates authority. Every plank is mapped to the statute, charter section, ordinance, or interlocal agreement that grants or withholds the power to act.

The audit identifies the votes, agenda steps, budget amendments, and ordinance pathway required before a mayoral commitment can become city action.

Florida preemption is reviewed before feasibility is assigned. A commitment is not marked preempted without a named statute, court ruling, or attorney-general opinion.

Recurring obligations are tested against recurring revenue, staffing, procurement, and grant-risk assumptions instead of campaign-year toplines.

Each record names the operational barrier that would most likely block delivery: funding gap, jurisdiction, preemption, program overlap, conversion risk, or intergovernmental exposure.

Every classification is tied to a measurable public action so readers can distinguish a promise, a pathway, and an actual municipal deliverable.
