A $388.89B book with an 861,129-action file

It is not a verdict on auto, health, or any other sector—the packet has no sector field.
The Michigan spending hub is where those 861,129 rows roll up. Agency pages split the same universe by funding department. This page cites $388.89B, 861,129 awards, and FY 2024–2026 only.
High action count is not a recipient census
A file this large is mostly small rows plus modifications. Unique entities are unpublished in this packet. Restating 861,129 as Michigan companies would invent a number the facts do not contain.
Mean size near $452,000 is $388.89B divided by 861,129. It is below the means for Massachusetts and Washington in this harvest and above Illinois’s mean. Median size is unpublished. Amount sort on the hub finds dollar drivers; the long tail inflates the count.
