Known limits. FEC itemized donor detail is processed only through about July 2026 even though totals run to Oct 14. 'Building / land' tags are literal matches on the donor's own filed name or occupation, so they miss developers who give personally and can catch unrelated names containing a word like 'land'. Same-address groupings show companies sharing an address, not proven common ownership.
