Every figure, with its source

One row per source: the figure the source's own page publishes, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

Read in full, publishes no figure

45 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

2 of the 47 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 45 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 315 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): two joined price distributions nobody publishes together: what the customer pays to get a technician to the door (the call-out, trip or diagnostic fee, read from contractors' own pages, in dollars and in pounds, by trade and by market band) and what the contractor pays for the flat-rate price book that sets it (per technician per month, read from the book publishers' own pricing pages); the derivation is the ratio - how many service calls a price book costs a shop per month - plus the share of contractors that publish any fee at all, the share that waive it on approval of the repair, and the emergency and out-of-hours multiplier

315 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
