Public signs an ownership change could be on the table: a declared sale or merger, an owner retirement or an announced succession plan. A founder still leading after 30+ years is only a weak research clue, not a sign the agency wants to sell. Past sales, restructurings and the agency's own acquisitions do not count here.

Why: Acquisition Research Fit is low. Formation year 1902 is on a verified record (124 years in operation). The rating stays Low because years in operation and size are a business profile, not a transition. This is not a statement that the agency wants to sell.
