## Methodology

Each instrument's own the regulations and regulators' own texts in the EU, GB and the US were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row). For every text, three questions were answered from its own words: what it asks of a data holder, whether the holder is paid, the operative words. Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the text read does not address the question. A instrument with several texts reads 'varies' where they disagree. 6 instruments, 7 texts.
