  "coverage": "9 selected organisation profiles and 14 events: six verified donor-to-parliamentary-interest identity links and three meeting-only profiles. No verified donation-to-ministerial-meeting match. The complete DESNZ quarterly return is a separate companion dataset.",
  "method": "This is a bounded pilot of explicitly supported connections to our existing finance snapshot. Names alone do not establish identity. Company and individual donations remain separate unless a particular relationship has evidence. Registered financial interests are not meetings. A donation and a meeting do not establish a bargain, improper influence or causation. Ministerial returns have exclusions and publication lags, so this is not a complete account of access. No access records are added to donation totals.",
  "method_notes": [
    "A selective pilot: six company-number profiles with links to existing EC references, plus three meeting-only profiles. Meetings and parliamentary interests are separate record types. Not all departments, periods or parties have been covered.",
    "Matching is at organisation level. The parliamentary support can concern a different recipient or transaction from the linked party donation. No amounts are double-counted. A brand label such as Ecotricity is not treated as a verified match to a particular legal company."
