Build-phase workbench · internal
The interactive tools behind the concept, in one place.
Every piece built for Digital Public Works (internal codename PIT Crew): the invention — the Open Accountability Ledger — the demonstrator, the dashboards that carry the case, and the shadow public service and strategist tools. Each opens in its own tab, exactly as built.
Not for publicationThe invention — the Open Accountability Ledger
2 toolsThe Open Accountability Ledger
The headline invention: a public, permanent record of what government was told, promised and did. Four lenses, filterable, every entry sourced and confidence-flagged. Self-contained.
Open tool →Ledger page engine (data-driven)
Reads live data from the open-accountability-ledger repo
The deployable version: the ledger-paper design that fetches its entries from the GitHub data repo and cache-busts on the manifest version. This is the one that embeds in the site.
Open tool →The demonstrator
1 toolDashboards — the case in numbers
2 toolsWA IT waste & the PIT Crew fix
Five-section visual: the blowouts, the human cost, the two-pillar remedy, the adversarial stress test, and the consultant shadow. Every figure traced to BP2 or the Auditor General.
Open tool →WA Social Investment dashboard
Prevention vs crisis, priced per person: the detention-bed maths, the seven core crisis systems, the honest break-even, and every department ranked. Built line-by-line from Budget Paper No. 2.
Open tool →The shadow public service
4 toolsThe Shadow Public Service
The headline card: 53,900 hidden workers, $20.8bn a year, a workforce 37% bigger than reported, set beside the whole Defence Force. The single-glance version.
Open tool →The shadow, eight ways
The same verified fact told eight ways — the military, your wallet, the office, the stadium, the town — to test which comparison lands hardest.
Open tool →The shadow, in practice
What the numbers mean day to day: tap any phrase to unfold the chain of consequences and the real case behind it, then flip the rent-vs-own switch on the same project.
Open tool →The WA Shadow
The WA cut: $7.3m of reported "consultants" against $154.7m one agency spends renting its computers, and where the real spend hides under other labels.
Open tool →Strategist tools
2 toolsThe Tell — decode the pushback
Every consultant-defence objection, reframed as a receipt, with the tell and the published case that proves it. Plus the investigative record bank.
Open tool →Name stress-test
Each candidate name under the government's harshest fire: the attack, the defence, and a verdict on whether the name holds or is exposed.
