About Unbox Gov
Unbox Gov surfaces patterns worth reviewing in Greece's public-procurement registry, KHMDHS. Findings are indications, not accusations — every flag is a numerical pattern in public data, never a verdict on intent or legality. The site exists to make Greek procurement spending easier to navigate, audit, and discuss in the open. It is provided for educational and research purposes — to help people learn to read and analyse public procurement data.
Data sources
All data comes from KHMDHS (the Central Electronic Registry of Public Contracts) via the public OpenData API at eprocurement.gov.gr. Data is refreshed monthly and republished as Parquet files in an open HuggingFace dataset (vasilisplavos/unboxgov-khmdhs), so anyone can reproduce the analyses end-to-end.
Methodology
Flags are produced by SQL rules running over normalized contract data. Each flag carries an evidence JSON object that a human reviewer can inspect to verify or reject the pattern. The rule definitions and the full pipeline are open source.
A note on language and intent
The underlying procurement data is in Greek — organization names, contract titles, and rule-evidence text remain in their original form. The site's chrome (navigation, methodology, rule explanations) is translated to English so non-Greek-speaking researchers, journalists, and developers can navigate the project. Findings are indications based on public data, not accusations: they highlight patterns worth further review by competent authorities, journalists, or researchers.
