Where the need concentrates
priority score · 64 rows
Priority combines three scored dimensions — need, demand and opportunity — then rescales the state to 0–100. Nothing here is a black box; the weights and their sub-weights are printed in the rail.

What the ledger holds
Six instruments, one dataset. They share the same parish keys, the same year spine, and the same source registry, so a number found in one is the same number in the others.
Funder's Lens
Put a number on the budget before you spend it.
This band is the live optimizer, not a screenshot. It ranks parish-by-pathway grants by graduates per $100,000, commits the whole budget, and names the places it would decline.

Not funded this cycle
The optimizer returns its refusals alongside its grants. A portfolio that only ever says yes is a brochure.
Funded portfolio
per $100K
The optimizer needs the Bayou Analyti.ca API. It isn’t reachable from this page right now, so there is no portfolio to show — and rather than invent one, this band stays empty.
Request failed with 502
Marginal-ROI optimizer over parish × innovation-type candidates, budget-constrained and sensitivity-profiled.
Every number has a birth certificate
Public source files, ingested and reconciled into one parish-year spine. Files are browsable, parser steps are auditable, and advisor conversations are logged. A failed quality check blocks the metric rather than shipping it quietly.
