Evidence Matrix
| Claim | Status | Evidence In Hand | Missing For Verification |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADA faced material financial strain tied to technology/AMS transition. | Partially Supported | ADA board communication + external reporting context indicate significant strain and implementation issues. | Full reserve movement attribution from audited line items. |
| ADA "lost about $140M" mainly due to AMS/IT mismanagement. | Unverified | Forum claims and secondary reporting references. | Multi-year audited mapping that links majority of reserve decline to AMS/IT cost overruns. |
| ADA is running annual deficits in the $20M-$30M range. | Unverified | Repeated claims in professional channels. | Audited year-by-year deficit values and driver notes from primary disclosures. |
