• Award action date — The government’s official date for a new award, funding change, or deobligation. This is the date shown on the chart’s timeline.
• Work start — The date performance under the award begins. It may fall before or after the award action date.
• Hit the public record — The date the action first appeared in public data. This can be months after the government’s official action date.
• Department of War coverage boundary — Normal-volume Department of War reporting is established through Jul 17. Dates after that point are shaded because coverage is incomplete, even though some Department records may already appear there.

Bars in the shaded period are actions already present in public data. The running total may change as delayed Department records arrive, so the current shape does not establish a change in contract activity.
