Where these categories come from
Every leaf carries the NAF rév. 2 codes it covers, so a firm imported from the public register lands in the right sector without anyone classifying it by hand. A code belongs to exactly one leaf; a firm that genuinely spans two sectors is given both, rather than the taxonomy being bent to fit it. There are 1 sector listings across the directory today.
