What it is not: a census of the market. These are deals that were reported. A business sold quietly between two owners never enters a dataset like this one, and disclosure skews towards larger transactions. Roughly four in five closes without a published multiple, which is why the count of disclosing deals is shown next to every median on the site rather than buried in a methodology note.
