A mid-size advisory pool under $4.7M
$4,730,174 is the occupation-level dollar total. 18,510 is the itemization count. 917 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $255. Mean dollars per donor record are about $5,158. Repeat giving is about 20 itemizations per donor record.
18,510 lines from 917 records is a moderate-to-high frequency pattern. The per-line mean of about $255 sits between small-check support titles and concentrated investor titles in this harvest band. Those means are arithmetic, not medians.
The packet has no gift-size distribution, no firm-versus-independent flag, and no party split. BUSINESS CONSULTANT can describe strategy work, operations advice, or a catch-all self-description. The occupation column does not say which.
Business consultant is not consultant
CONSULTANT, MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT, and BUSINESS OWNER — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to BUSINESS CONSULTANT. This page cites only $4,730,174, 18,510 contributions, and 917 donors.
FEC Form 3 and Form 3X collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no consulting-firm employment check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals BUSINESS CONSULTANT after indexing.
