Two keys: BAIN CAPITAL and 2008
Drop either key and the number changes. Drop 2008 and the Bain Capital hub shows $8,559,241. Drop Bain Capital and the 2008 hub shows every other stored employer for that window — a total this packet does not publish. Keep both keys and the extract returns $498,800 on 129 lines from 65 donors. Cite FEC.gov for the intersection; do not treat either hub as a substitute for the join.
BAIN CAPITAL is the stored employer. Consulting-firm strings such as Bain & Company are other keys. Exact string matching is the method. BAIN, BAIN CAPITAL LLC, BAIN & COMPANY, and named Bain funds are not rolled into $498,800. LobbyVault does not recode filer text into NAICS. Cite FEC.gov.
Section 1 states the relationship. Later sections unpack the lifetime grouping, the receipt arithmetic, the two-year window, and the caveats. The overlay Bain Capital 2008 is the row view of this cell.
Lifetime Bain Capital dollars versus the 2008 slice
$8,559,241 minus $498,800 leaves $8,060,441 in other cycles, or 94.2% of the stored book. 5.8% is the 2008 share. A share is a quotient, not a trend claim. This packet has no prior-cycle dollar for comparison, so no percent change is stated. Other even-year amounts are not invented here.
$8,559,241 is not revenue, not assets, and not a political budget. It is the sum of itemized individual contributions that grouped to BAIN CAPITAL in this table. The Bain Capital hub is the place to see other years. This tie exists so 2008 is not swallowed by that lifetime figure.
