The method in full
Each buyer's own data partnership and intake pages were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row).
For every page, four questions were answered from its own words: takes a closing or wound-down company's data, what it says it buys, who it says is paid, intake door.
Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the page read does not address the question.
A buyer with several pages reads 'varies' where they disagree.
11 buyers, 17 pages.
1 named document has not been read and is excluded from the counts.
