Reporting safeguards
- Ownership labels are dataset classifications, not legal findings.
- Ownership not classified is never counted as independent or allocated to a group.
- These figures describe the tracked dataset, not UK market share or market concentration.
- High-risk named-group claims should use right-of-reply before publication.
