How this edition was put together

Every row is an entry in the record, fetched again at its source on the day the record was read and confirmed to carry its excerpt. The groups are the record's own event classes, ordered as a reader of this segment reads them rather than by score alone, and within a group by the record's score and then by date.

The counts on this page are arithmetic over those rows and nothing else. Nothing is added about a company that its own entry does not carry, and the edition is assembled by software, so no line here is an opinion about anyone. What gets in, and what does not is the standard the entries are held to.
