Draft an inquiry

TRAIL drafts the letter — you decide whether to send it. Every draft is a starting point for a human reviewer; nothing is sent automatically.

Where to direct findings

TRAIL is a triage system, not an auditor. Grades and flags surface entities that may warrant closer review — they are not conclusions of wrongdoing. Federal spending data sourced from open.canada.ca. CRA charity data from CRA T3010 filings. Alberta data from open.alberta.ca.
