How the figures are worked out
Each organisation's own data buyers', scouts' and exchanges' own pages for data owners were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row).
For every page, five questions were answered from its own words: where the organisation sends a company's data, does it buy the data or introduce buyers, does it charge the data owner, does the owner keep ownership, what it says it takes from data owners.
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 organisation with several pages reads 'varies' where they disagree.
