Only public, low-risk sources: official statistics, the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce (SHAB), cantonal gazettes, groups' and practices' own websites, and job ads (counted and linked). No person is named. Directories are used only to count practices per canton.
Residents per practice uses the listed-practice count, which covers about 95% of the 3,735 practices in the federal business census. Market moves count deals, owner changes from the register, practices for sale and building notices found so far.
