Methodology and caveats
- Revenue comparison is General Fund-focused. The all-funds revenue total is preserved separately using the adopted all-funds summary block. The Campbell adopted budget/CIP PDF and forecast memo were read from locally saved files because direct scripted downloads from the city-hosted DocumentCenter URLs are brittle in this environment. ClearGov provides a public Campbell adopted budget experience, but row-level ClearGov extraction was not used for this artifact set. Revenue comparison rows are General Fund-focused, based on the adopted General Fund detail plus the forecast memo's General Fund topline table. All-funds topline totals were inferred from the adopted all-funds summary block on printed pages 74-75 because the PDF text extraction preserved the numeric lines but not every label cleanly. Department trend output is a four-point published trend (2022/23 actual, 2023/24 actual, 2024/25 estimated, 2025/26 adopted), not a true five-year department trend. The CIP section was reviewed, but no stable published category total row was extracted from the parsed text, so projects_category_summary.json is intentionally empty for this first pass.
