Continually evolving technologies make it easier and more affordable than ever to collect, analyze, and use oversight data and analy- ses to anticipate, detect, prepare for, prevent, and respond more quickly, fully, and successfully to problems. [...] Evolving technologies and analytic approaches can deliver more insights not just to federal programs but also to federal delivery partners to help them anticipate, prevent, and address problems and pursue improvement opportunities more pro-actively1 and more strategically, addressing the most serious problems and opportunities before proceeding to other key actions. [...] Data analyses to assess oversight findings across programs and agen- cies for patterns, similarities, variations, relationships, clusters, trends, positive and negative outliers, and anomalies across time and subsets can help to prevent and more strategically respond to problems that occur; such data can also reveal opportunities for improvement, includ- ing opportunities for cross-program scale e. [...] More useful oversight also requires attention to target users, and whether they know about and are easily and affordably able to access, understand, and apply relevant oversight and other needed information. [...] This requires finding new ways to do and use oversight and other information—in more effective, efficient, and fair ways, to improve outcomes, operational quality, and public understanding of and trust in government.
