Description
## What needs to change
The Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (Evidence Act) implementation is only partially represented on the site. Phase 1 (M-19-23) and Phase 4 (M-20-12) are listed but Phases 2 and 3 are missing, leaving an incomplete picture of how OMB directed agencies to implement the law.
## What to research
Identify the Phase 2 and Phase 3 implementation memos:
**Phase 2:**
Search https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoranda/ or govinfo.gov for the Phase 2 Evidence Act implementation memo. It may be OMB M-19-23 addendum material or a separate memo number. Search for "Phase 2 Evidence Act" or "Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Phase 2."
**Phase 3:**
Same approach — search for "Phase 3 Evidence Act" or "Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Phase 3."
If these memos exist and are publicly available, create summary files for each in `pages/_summaries/` following the same front matter format as the existing M-19-23 and M-20-12 entries.
## Also update
Once Phase 2 and Phase 3 entries are added, update the descriptions of M-19-23 (Phase 1) and M-20-12 (Phase 4) to cross-reference the full series so visitors understand the relationship between all four phases.
## How to verify
Visit https://resources.data.gov/categories/guidance and confirm all four Evidence Act implementation phases are represented and cross-referenced in their descriptions.
