FPF source evidence

Milestone and disbursement ledger

Read-only milestone and disbursement fields normalized from the FPF grants ledger.

These ledger rows are FPF source evidence. They do not by themselves prove that a progress update was accepted, a payment request was approved, or an on-chain settlement was completed. Named rows can also describe reimbursements, returned funds, or other ledger adjustments.

No normalized FPF milestone or disbursement rows are linked to this application yet. The application and its other source evidence remain available below.
