What’s in the files

The files cover the businesses researched here. Exact private shareholders and percentages can remain unknown, and franchise or minority investment links don’t make the named firm a controlling owner.

The downloads keep the original research fields and wording. CSV files use stable IDs and separate lists with a vertical bar (|). Values that could become spreadsheet formulas are escaped. The complete dataset includes research memos used to find sources; those memos aren’t public proof of ownership.

Credit this directory and keep source links and checked dates when sharing work based on it. Source documents remain subject to their publishers’ terms.
