Resources & divergence
Named grants establish resources; KR’s statutes establish internal selection and appointment rights. CMA’s two funding charts describe a changed mix without explaining its cause.
Solid lines: documented in a cited record. Dashed: reported or inferred. Hollow arrows: proposed powers. Choose a connection for its evidence.
Ford approval, KR awards and Democracy Fund paid-schedule reports are different money states. Democracy row amounts are withheld here pending visual alignment. Chart percentages are not a dollar budget, cash balance or proof that a donor chose a tactic.
