ABX aims to be for state agriculture spending what a ratings agency is for credit: a standing dataset, a published method, an annual index, and people who use all three.
Track agriculture budgets in four values: appropriated, revised, released and spent, for every state, every quarter.
With farmer organisations, visit a random sample of projects: does it exist, is it finished, does it work, is it used?
Every figure with its source document. An annual ABX Budget Execution Index, starting with three pilot states.
Tools for farmers, women's networks, journalists and lawmakers, timed to the budget calendar.

Most advocacy stops when the budget is passed, which is when governments find it easiest to agree and easiest to quietly undo. ABX follows the money past that point.
A quarterly report counts as on time if published within 30 days of quarter end. ABX logs when each state publishes, because late reports make in-year oversight impossible.
