What the evidence supports

Only the second and third classes involve a commercial actor, and both report a sequence

ClassScarsHectaresHow far it can be read
Burned, no planting recorded00A burn scar with no subsequent planting. Supports no inference about any commercial actor. This dataset only records scars that were later planted, so a count of zero here means out of scope, not absent from the landscape, a burned-areas feed would be needed.
Burned, then planted with oil palm3813,068Planting appears on the scar after the burn year. The finding is the sequence. Who lit the fire is not something this dataset knows.
Inside a concession boundary81,962The burn polygon intersects concession geometry, so a licence holder can be named for the land. Naming the holder of the land is not naming the cause of the fire.

Mill proximity is a search radius, not a finding. A mill inside the radius is a place to look, never evidence that the mill or its suppliers caused the burn.
