Where top secret central committee views its tally (10)
I believe the answer is:
scoreboard
'where top secret central' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'committee views its tally' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'committee' could be 'board' (board is a kind of committee) and 'board' is located in the answer.
'tally' could be 'score' (synonyms) and 'score' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scoreboard that I've seen before include "It has information about the competition" , "Indicator of the state of play" , "It should feature up-to-date numbers" , "Where match results are displayed" , "It shows state of game" .)
