I believe there should be a more user-friendly summary of transactions in the Google Transparency sheet, categorized by "Type" (Incoming/Outgoing), "Tag," and "USD and Token Amount."

For instance, the line "DAO Committee" is confusing because it appears in both the "Income" and "Expenses" sections, primarily to represent stablecoin swaps. The same for line "Other".

To calculate the amounts spent on Core Units, one currently has to manually review each Core Units grant. This is cumbersome because it requires separate calculations for the DAO, Revocations and Curation Committees' salaries/compensations which are also Core Units but not grant-based.

To simplify this, it would be beneficial to introduce a "Core Category" that includes all related operating expenses. Additionally, there is a need to standardize tag names for consistency across all reports.

Operating costs should also have their own separate line in the "Expenses" section for transparency, distinct from other grants. This will provide a more unified and detailed account of core units and other operating expenses.

Also, transaction tags could be organized better to produce a cleaner Income Statement (also known as Profit and Loss Summary). This would make the transactions between the DAO Committee and the Treasury (such as Mana swaps) more understandable.
