      "question": "In the University of Minnesota sponsored-project policy, how do allowable and allocable costs differ?",
      "expectedAnswer": "Allowable costs must be reasonable, allocable, consistently treated, and comply with applicable limits and exclusions. Allocable concerns assignment to a cost objective according to the relative benefits received.",

      "question": "Does the University of Minnesota hospitality policy by itself make a business meal with non-employees chargeable to a sponsored project?",
      "expectedAnswer": "No. A legitimate university business purpose and the hospitality rules are necessary, but sponsored-project allowability must also be established. The most restrictive applicable university and sponsor requirements apply; costs must meet the sponsored-cost allowability and allocation requirements.",
      "requiredClaims": ["Hospitality approval alone does not establish sponsored-project allowability.", "Apply the most restrictive applicable university and sponsor rules.", "A sponsored cost must be allowable and allocable.", "Do not turn the conditional prior-written-approval provision into a universal separate sponsor-approval requirement for every sponsored business meal."],

      "expectedAnswer": "No. The university generally requires U.S. flag carriers for federally funded travel unless a permitted Fly America exception applies. GSA expressly says ticket cost and convenience are not exceptions.",

      "question": "For University of Minnesota travel funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, can the traveler rely on an Open Skies agreement exception to Fly America?",
      "expectedAnswer": "GSA states that Open Skies exceptions do not apply to Department of Defense funded transportation. A traveler cannot rely on that exception merely because the route is covered by an Open Skies agreement; the university's federal sponsored travel requirements still apply.",

      "expectedAnswer": "The university allows 75% of the daily M&IE rate on the first and last travel days regardless of departure or arrival time. Applying 75% to Boston/Cambridge's $92 FY2027 M&IE rate gives $69.",
      "requiredClaims": ["The first-day rate is 75% regardless of departure time.", "The relevant Boston/Cambridge daily M&IE rate is $92.", "75% of $92 equals $69."],
