## Read and set aside

- [Protege data providers](https://withprotege.ai/data-provider): the box's stored read of Protege's page is its cookie-consent text; no sentence about taking data was stored

## Methodology

Each buyer's own buyer listings and data partner pages were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row). For every page, five questions were answered from its own words: the way the buyer takes data, does the page name automotive or engineering work, what it asks for, quoted, how a holder gets in, what the buyer says it pays, quoted. 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. 9 buyers, 9 pages.
