Every figure, with its source

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

The sentence each figure was read from (3)

Read in full, publishes no figure

12 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 14 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 12 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 for each breakdown it prices, in day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 3 figures, never sentences; 13 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): one row per jurisdiction per obligation - the deadline, the cap, the notice, the limitation period - quoted verbatim from the authority with its effective date, so the buyer's page can state the 56-day schedule and 56-day response deadlines, the s.18(1) first and second limbs, the 1938 Act's twenty-eight-day counter-notice and three-year threshold, and the six- or twelve-year limitation period against the actual text rather than against a law firm's summary; the England-and-Wales column beside the Scottish one, which no dilapidations site publishes side by side; and changed-since on every read, which is how a protocol or rate-year revision becomes news here first

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