Trust, but verify
A figure in a document, next to the Treasury's own. It passes when they agree within the document's rounding. Read by hand, so: proof of idea, not automation. Yet.

The totals do not add up (yet)
Emfuleni's audited statements show total revenue of R8,743,061,849 for 2023-24; the Treasury's total is R7,871,949,033. Even after taking out capital transfers, R432 million is unaccounted for. Individual lines match to within a few rand, so the figures are fine and the definitions are the mystery.
Why we show our workings
Ask a search-based assistant about Emfuleni's spending and you get R45.7 million on repairing sewer leaks, lifted from a party statement. The real documents are scanned, blocked or filed at links nobody could guess. AskYimalini goes to the structured official data and checks every number, so you should be able to see where each source is easy and where it is a locked door. (Five questions, one search provider: indicative, not gospel.)
