Corrections
Correction withdrawn (figure). This describes a change that was reversed and is NOT in the text below. Recomposed from the same award rows with the v1.27.0 renderer. The previous lines were frozen before that fix and carried a recipient name covering three distinct registrant identifiers, figures with no observation time, and model-written sentences citing no fact line. The underlying rows are unchanged; only the sentences drawn from them are corrected. (Re-filed 2026-08-02: this notice was first recorded under a mis-typed action the reader surface does not read, so it never reached a reader. The original row remains in the trail, unaltered.)
Correction withdrawn (figure). This describes a change that was reversed and is NOT in the text below. Recomposed on 2026-08-03 from the same award rows by the desk's current composer. Every line is re-rendered, so each figure now wears the name the source gives it: a running obligation total is called obligations to date and never money awarded, each agency benchmark is the one the row carries today, and every recipient is printed with the government-issued unique entity identifier the row holds, because a recipient NAME in this record can cover more than one registrant. Comparisons against the rest of an agency's awards are held to a stated population of at least 100 observed awards. Where the source does not say how many awards a benchmark was computed over, the comparison is dropped and the plain observed amount stands in its place, and where a share is printed it now names the agency's own award count rather than the recipient's. The headline changed for the same reason. It read: "Federal awards today: Regents Of The University Of California, The books $236,000 in new obligations from Department of Energy". 10 fact lines stand. The underlying award rows are unchanged, the story keeps its permalink and its place in the edition, and nothing has been deleted.
