Transparency is central to this project and aligns closely with core digital humanities values.
By using publicly available datasets and clearly documenting how the data is collected, cleaned, and visualized, the project makes its methods visible rather than hidden behind technical processes.

The interactive map allows users to see exactly where information comes from and how school funding patterns are represented, helping build trust and understanding.
This commitment to transparency ensures that parents, students, and community members can not only view the results but also trace the steps behind them, reinforcing openness, accountability, and public engagement.
