Reviewed. Some of what it contains has knowingly not been taken yet.

What is left

(1) Figure 6 (PDF p. 20, chart image): pie of 7623(b) processing time by process; only the Whistleblower Office slice (1.09 years, from the text) is recorded; text recognition (OCR) read one other label as 4.78 with low confidence and missed the third; a visual read is needed. (2) Figure 7 (PDF p. 21, chart image): histogram of FY2024 award payments by processing-time bucket and claim type; bar labels not readable by text recognition (OCR); visual read needed. (3) Figure 4 (PDF p. 19, chart image): days to issue 7623(b) payments FY2022-2024; check visually whether the bars carry value labels (text recognition (OCR) found none).
