  "inclusion_rule": "Preserve every row, including anomalies. Out-of-quarter dates are flagged and excluded only from valid-quarter date summaries, not dropped from the source population.",
  "normalisation": "Retain all four raw field values. Trim only minister display labels. Parse dates exactly as printed; do not repair year digits. Do not split participant lists or infer legal entities.",
  "identity_rule": "No company or donor identity joins are attempted. An empty donation list means not assessed, not evidence of no donations.",

    "Publication lag and any undisclosed, exempt or later corrected meetings limit inference.",
    "The cohort supports disclosure-quality analysis. It establishes no donation-to-meeting link, policy effect or impropriety."
