  "_note": "Curated post-2023-election OUTCOME overlay for the backtest (feature 5). Pre-election attributes (funding/risk/sector/cost/owner) come from the sourced pipeline.json dataset; this file ONLY adds (a) the documented post-election outcome and (b) where the current pipeline status differs from the Oct-2023 status, an explicit preElectionStatus — each with a public-record basis. No fabricated figures. Outcomes are well-reported decisions of the National-led coalition from Dec 2023 onward. 'stopped' = cancelled/scrapped; 'proceeded' = retained, advanced or under construction (note: several retained roads are advanced/committed, not yet built — see limitations).",
