Interviewer instructions
1) Percent of the contract value. The question is designed to get at the size of the unaudited or unreported payment that is made to a government officials that directly aided in granting a government contract, in part or in whole, or expanded the size of the contract to include the establishment's business.

Again, notice the wording (phrasing) of the question: it asks for the respondent to answer for the “typical” establishment, rather than the establishment being interviewed.
