Ralph Yozzo
Based on the NYC Open Data "Recent Contract Awards" dataset (qyyg-4tf5) and the context of the data errors highlighted in the video, here is a summary of notable organizations and the amounts listed.
Note: Several of these figures are widely considered to be extreme data entry errors (e.g., trillion-dollar amounts) present in the city's raw data as of early 2026.
Top Organizations by Amount (Including Errors)
| Organization | Amount Listed | Likely Status |
| Community Live Incorporated | $96,254,432,604,057.10 | Data Error ($96 Trillion) |
| The New York Coffee Company | $857,000,000,000.00 | Data Error ($857 Billion) |
| CDB Productions LLC | $7,000,000.00 | Valid Award (DOT Signature events) |
| Savant Financial Technologies Inc. | $72,755.00 | Valid Award (AutoCAD licenses) |

Summary Analysis
Extreme Outliers: The dataset contains astronomical figures that exceed the total GDP of the United States. Specifically, Community Live Incorporated is listed with a $96 trillion award, and a coffee vendor is listed with an $857 billion award. These are recognized by data analysts and the original video uploader as massive clerical errors in the NYC City Record Online system.
Valid Contract Awards: Outside of these errors, the dataset tracks legitimate agency spending. Recent entries include:
Department of Transportation (DOT): $7 million to CDB Productions LLC for event planning (e.g., Summer Streets).
NYPD: Nearly $92,000 to Savant Financial Technologies for lifesaving tourniquets.
Department of Social Services: ~$73,000 for software subscription renewals.
Data Reliability: The creator of the video, Ralph Yozzo, points out that the "Recent" dataset includes records dating back to the year 2000 and contains numerous formatting inconsistencies, advising taxpayers to report these $96 trillion discrepancies to the City Record.
