FNFTA Data Observatory · Universe Register

The universe, and how much of it the model holds

Every column is one First Nation (grouped by province, Atlantic → North); every row is a fiscal year. The universe is published documents — the colored shape is the universe itself. Blank and near-blank cells are places where no document exists: Nations that never file, and portal listings with nothing behind them (claims, not members). The color is the model's health on each universe member.

Audited financial statements

Universe = published documents. Holding the document proves publication; probes verify the rest. A listing without a verified document — including the empty FY2025-26 slots the portal just added — is a claim, not a member: it renders near-blank and joins the universe only when a document actually appears.
table view — counts by fiscal year

Chief & council remuneration schedules

Universe = documents the July 16 published-universe audit (plus human adjudications) verified to exist. Listed slots where nothing was ever actually published are claims, not members — near-blank, watched only so a document appearing there later is caught.

Nation profile state data — the history only we keep

Officials, contact, governance, geography, population, reserves: the portal overwrites these in place, so the weekly scans are the only historical record anywhere. Coverage is complete by construction; the health question is freshness and churn.

Release-grain datasets, by source

Everything the register watches at dataset grain, grouped by publisher. "Not included" rows are described so the decision is visible — they are deliberately outside the model. The two CHSP housing-profile tables were dropped from the universe entirely (no reserve coverage exists); their observation history is retained.
