Project outcome

Project outcome is one of Demiton's published registers for Australian civil construction. A project's actual financial outcome at close-out or a reporting point. Demiton keeps it current from the systems a contractor already runs and publishes the record's shape as a versioned JSON Schema, so the same question works whichever system produced the record.

Part of Projects in the register catalog.
