Release custody

Two official HSR Table XI editions
HSR industry atlas

This bridge joins only the exact broad-sector NAICS code published by both sources. The 2022 Economic Census sector row measures economy-wide employer-firm structure, while each HSR sector aggregate sums the release's published acquired-entity 3-digit rows. The shared code does not define a legal antitrust market, measure a sector merger rate, establish competitive harm, or score agency performance.

Source custody

One selection, four bounded evidence families.

The published sector code joins the releases. Values, ranks, gaps, periods, and denominators remain legible as separate evidence rather than a synthetic verdict.

FY2023-FY2024 HSR acquired-entity composition

Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice / 34 exact release-sector joins

This studio places separate published measures side by side. Every rank uses the full 17-sector universe, and every gap subtracts exact values only within the same metric and unit. Ranks, percentiles, intensities, and gaps cannot be compared across measures, summed, averaged, or interpreted as a competition score, causal result, market-power finding, or legal antitrust market. This bridge joins only the exact broad-sector NAICS code published by both sources. The 2022 Economic Census sector row measures economy-wide employer-firm structure, while each HSR sector aggregate sums the release's published acquired-entity 3-digit rows. The shared code does not define a legal antitrust market, measure a sector merger rate, establish competitive harm, or score agency performance.
