Core Skills

Audit Israel Aid Records Without Collapsing the Numbers

Separate obligations, appropriations, annual MOU funding, supplemental packages, arms-sale notices, deliveries, and analysis before writing dollar claims.

Course thesis

Audit Israel aid records by reducing each claim to a source row, classifying the evidence, preserving attribution boundaries, auditing legal and humanitarian language, and leaving a publishable file another editor can verify.

Moderate 1-7 days

Core brief

Search intent

People search for Israel dossier evidence workflows because the public record is high-risk, fast-moving, and easy to misstate when source classes are blended.

First action

Create separate rows for the CRS constant-dollar total, annual MOU funding, H.R.815 supplemental appropriations, and DSCA arms-sale notices.

Outcome

A defensible aid ledger that keeps record type, amount, time period, and analysis separate

Proof standard

Progress means a skeptical editor can trace every number, legal term, and incident claim from prose back to the source row without guessing.

Before you start

One Israel dossier claim narrow enough to test.
A source ledger for claim text, source class, custodian, date, URL, access date, confidence label, and open question.
A rule that no claim moves into public copy until its evidence tier and source boundary are explicit.

Official checkpoints

Use Congressional Research Service, Congress.gov, Defense Security Cooperation Agency as the first source ladder before relying on commentary, screenshots, reposts, or unsourced summaries.
Do not add figures from different record types together unless the source and method justify the calculation.
Treat claim rows, source classes, confidence labels, access dates, and open questions as the proof threshold.

Tools: aid ledger, record-type column, bill tracker, source notes, comparison warning

Institutions: Congressional Research Service, Congress.gov, Defense Security Cooperation Agency
