A single partner count can hide the real story. The Atlas separates source records, known partner names, current-facing partners, formal agreements, asset partners, funding partners, volunteer stewards, and records needing review so public claims stay explainable.
Needs-validation, inferred, historical, and do-not-publish records can help guide review and storytelling, but they are not counted as verified impact. This lets the Atlas be useful before every spreadsheet row is perfect without pretending provisional data is final.
Rows parsed from the department-provided workbook after contact and mailing fields were held back.
Includes agreements, programs, outreach, stewardship, grant support, philanthropy, space grants, and definitions.
Canonical partner names after grouping workbook records and existing public partner records.
Counts each public partner name once, even when it appears across several source sheets.
Partner names without an obvious historical, inactive, expired, or completed status in the public-safe records.
Useful for current storytelling, but still needs PP&R review before final publication.
Partners connected to asset records, contracts, leases, permits, licenses, IGAs, or operating agreements.
Designed to explain the core agreement-bearing partnership universe.
Partners connected to operating, maintaining, programming, stewarding, or improving a public-serving asset.
Includes asset-management records, contracts, and public value categories tied to operations or service continuity.
Partners that appear to support stewardship, volunteer labor, maintenance, or on-the-ground care.
Includes stewardship source records and partner links carrying stewardship or labor categories.
Partners connected to donations, grants, sponsorships, capital support, or in-kind value.
Keeps one-time capital, annual value, grants, and public funds separate in display.
Partner names that appear to be friends groups, neighborhood associations, or place-based stewards.
A useful working count, not a final friends-group roster.
Partners with source records marked historical, inactive, expired, ended, completed, or similar.
Kept visible to tell history without implying a current relationship.
Public-safe partner names that should be checked before being treated as finalized.
This is the work queue for turning messy spreadsheet knowledge into reviewed public information.
