Deal datasets

These datasets connect acquisition disclosures to HCT measures.

Blue nodes are upstream inputs, the green node is a reusable analysis-layer dataset, and the purple node is the deal-level dataset used by the analysis.

Goodwill and target match quality links disclosed acquisition targets to pre-deal MQ. Its Python builder also writes matching diagnostics. The estimation and result outputs belong in the later Analyses documentation rather than this data lineage.
