Tier 0 micro-projects completed under the Fast Lane, cumulative

Why this row

The touchstone of the Act is a playground: about $50,000, quickly, to a legitimate local team, for a recreation center that has gone unmaintained for thirty years. The Fast Lane is the mechanism, standing pre-qualification, fixed-scope catalogs with reference price bands, fixed-price award within 30 days, milestone escrow, and geotagged photographic verification, and the Act reserves at least 1% of budget authority for it and opens it nationally within 180 days of enactment. The matrix carries about 212,000 public-realm micro-projects at a $500,000 average; the floor's arithmetic is half a million at $50,000. The row is binding on the Regional Delivery Authorities that run the lane, and it is the plan's earliest visible result: tens of thousands of finished projects in the first fiscal year, each one a photograph.

The path

half of the decade's half-million, front-loaded: the Fast Lane opens within 180 days and the Act's first year is composed for it

Each July 4 the row shows its baseline, this path, the latest official value and a status of ahead, on schedule or behind. As a binding row it also links the decisions by The Regional Delivery Authorities that moved the number during the year.
