## Methodology

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.
