The second format might allow some sort of projective conglomeration of
results.
What?
If I have reports from both A and B about S, I may want to add their
results. I can extrapolate the real volumes Va and Vb that A and B
got from S by scaling the relative volumes Ra and Rb by, say, the
volumes I send to A and B, respectively. Call Ma and Mb these
"projections" of A and B on My site, and Pa and Pb the percentages
found in the report. Then I can reckon their sum as
(Pa*Va + Pb*Vb) / (Va + Vb) = (Pa*Ra*Ma + Pb*Rb*Mb) / (Ra*Ma + Rb*Mb)
One may want to season the projection factors with more ingredients,
such as the trust granted to the relevant reporter.
