Documents we read but did not count

5 named documents fell outside what this board reads once we had read them; their reasons follow. They are tallied, never scored as answers.

The method in full

Each vendor's own published terms were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row).

For every document, four questions were answered from the vendor's own words: who owns the business's data, vendor keeps aggregated or anonymised use, training AI on the business's data, export at exit.

Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the document read does not address the question.

A vendor with several documents reads 'varies' where they disagree.

17 vendors, 23 documents.
