Agency portfolio posture
Tiny portfolio with unusually complete ceilings
Despite only 5 CFDA rows, DOS publishes funding bands on 5 programs up to $10.0 million. Dollar envelopes are readable even though the catalog is small.
Derived from SAM.gov Assistance Listings program_count, funding_range fields, and eligibility tags. See methodology · corpus placement.
Catalog breadth vs live notices
Every agency plotted by program count (X) against currently posted Grants.gov opportunities under those programs (Y). The two don't move together: a wide catalog is not the same thing as live funding activity right now.
