Short answer

How can I see the split between public and intragovernmental debt?

Your AI uses the Statement of Public Debt to categorize the national debt. It separates what the public holds from what government agencies hold, providing a clear breakdown of debt composition.

The results you get.

Where your data lands.

The AI handles the data retrieval and math, leaving you with clear categories.

TOTALS

Aggregate debt figures

The AI pulls the total national debt. You get the single number needed for high-level fiscal summaries.

SPLIT

Holdings breakdown

The AI separates debt into public and intragovernmental portions. This shows exactly who the government owes.

RATIOS

Composition percentages

The AI calculates the ratio of public debt to total debt. This helps you see how much the debt relies on agency holdings.

HUMAN

Policy analysis

The AI provides the numbers, but you decide what the debt structure means for interest rate trends or policy shifts.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between the Treasury's raw statements and your specific questions.
