INVESTIGATION PATH

Turn a district list into a trail.

Use the table to find a pressure signal, then open evidence, compare districts inside this geography, or check what moved between published snapshots.

01

Sort for pressure

Switch between backlog, clearance pace, typical wait, and file-clear gap instead of relying on one headline rank.

Reset workspace

02

Open a district

Every district row links to a standalone evidence page with history, caveats, citation text, and CSV downloads.

Inspect biggest backlog

03

Compare two signals

Put two districts side by side when you need a cleaner local contrast, without turning it into a statewide finding.

Open comparison

04

Check movement

Use movers when there are at least two published snapshots, so you can separate scale from recent change.
