Example Record

{
  "ID": 1,
  "U": "User",
  "Question": "Why did the GPRA Modernization Act require agencies to establish priority goals?",
  "A": "Agent",
  "Answer": "Priority goals are intended to focus sustained leadership attention on a limited number of important outcomes. They help agencies identify objectives that require accelerated progress, cross-organizational coordination, or stronger management oversight. The goals are supported by measurable targets, responsible officials, and recurring reviews. Public reporting increases accountability for whether the agency is making meaningful progress. This structure turns broad strategic priorities into concrete, time-bound management commitments."
