AXPPAC is not the American Express book

Open the AXPPAC committee link to drop the American Express filter. Open the American Express industry link to drop the committee filter. This path keeps both. A mean of $268 per itemized line can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median and no unique-donor count. 1,367 contributions remain a line count, not a headcount.
7.4% here, 92.6% on other committees
7.4% of stored American Express money is tagged to C00040535 ($366,467). 92.6% is not ($4,574,045). Both percentages use $4,940,512 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.
The industry hub holds the committee index for this string. This tie isolates AXPPAC so $4,940,512 is not mistaken for a single-recipient number. American Express as card-issuer employer text, not American Express as a corporate treasury can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $366,467. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.
Limits of the American Express × AXPPAC join
The string AMERICAN EXPRESS is not NAICS, not a firm ID, and not a donor page. It is card-issuer employer text, not American Express as a corporate treasury. Related names remain other keys. $366,467 does not absorb them.

Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out.

Internal links: American Express (grouping), AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (AXPPAC) (committee), All industries, All FEC ties. Anchors stay as supplied in the packet. Unitemized individual gifts never enter $366,467. Independent expenditures and PAC disbursements are other FEC tables. Sharing a company-like string does not merge those ledgers with C00040535. Restating the join without new numbers: American Express at AXPPAC is $366,467 from 1,367 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The same string stores $4,940,512 across committees, so this recipient is about 7.4% and other committees hold $4,574,045 (92.6%). The grouping is card-issuer employer text, not American Express as a corporate treasury, not AXP stock, a NAICS credit-intermediation rollup, or a named-employee page. No donor names, unique-donor count, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $268. That mean is arithmetic, not a median. Independent expenditures remain outside $366,467.
