Answer: DODD-FRANK

Each row contains a pair of clues. One of these clues yields a name; the other yields a word that is a transdeletion of another name. (The transdeleted name clue may come either first or second.) Linking these two names in order with a hyphen forms a well-known duo from the world of Math / Science / Business / Politics, such as “Hewlett-Packard.” Reading the transdeleted letters in the given order spells NOT EVEN / CANDID OR OPEN, which clues ODD / FRANK. Applying the same principle used throughout the puzzle leads to the answer DODD-FRANK.
