Documents we read but did not count

After reading, 6 named documents were excluded as off the board's subject; the reasons sit below. They count as read but give no answers.

The method in full

Each buyer's own buyer, broker and marketplace pages were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row).

For every page, six questions were answered from its own words: what it takes from a company, takes closing or shut-down companies, publishes a price, payout or deal range, price, payout or deal range it publishes, fee or commission it takes, time to an offer or to payment.

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.

14 buyers, 20 pages.

3 named documents wait to be read; they are left out of every count.
