The packet has no employer field, no company-size cut, and no party split. Means are not medians.

COO is not CEO and not a spelled-out operating title

CEO, C.E.O., CFO, and PRESIDENT are neighboring occupation keys. This page covers the exact string COO: $18,870,517, 39,925 contributions, and 3,124 donors. Chief operating officer, if stored as a separate key, is not added here.

The FEC does not verify that the donor held the operating-officer seat on the gift date. People who used COO as a shorthand for a broader operations role can appear. Occupation is per transaction.
