## Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through the estate's 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). 11 of the 32 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 21 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 5 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; 110 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 provider per market: the published price per report and per bundle, the data guarantee and its ceiling, and - the column that matters and nobody publishes - the SOURCE behind each claim, because in every market the underlying records are the same few (DVSA and DVLA plus the insurers' finance and theft data in GB, NMVTIS plus insurer feeds in the US, PPSR and the state registers in AU). So the derivation is the PRICE SPREAD FOR IDENTICAL DATA: the ratio between the cheapest and dearest report drawing on the same register, per market, tracked over time, and the share of providers whose price is published at all against those quoting only on a funnel.
