Assumptions. Vendor dollars are Schedule E payments as filed. The ad's dollars are the midpoint of the range Google reports, not a filed figure, and are never added to the vendor dollars. A vendor → ad edge is drawn only when a person verified it from a source naming both (solid) or that vendor was the only digital vendor the sponsor paid in the week before and while the ad ran (dashed, inferred). Other vendors paid in that window are listed below as a sentence, not drawn: overlapping dates are not evidence of who placed the ad. Donor dollars on the left are pooled: none of them can be said to have bought this ad. Nothing here reaches the candidate.

Which vendor placed this ad

A vendor is linked to this ad only when a person verified it from a source naming both, or when it was the only digital vendor the sponsor paid in the week before and while the ad ran (inferred). Each link says what it rests on.
