Important attribution rule

A brand name does not prove parent-company ownership, PAC affiliation, or political spending. Individual product records show their own sources. Political Money applies a separate strong-match rule before counting any federal filing.

What this page does not do.

It does not average unrelated verdicts into a brand score. A good printer policy does not cancel out a bad subscription policy, and vice versa. LessBother keeps the underlying claims separate so you can inspect the evidence that matters to your decision.
