shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 4 of the 24 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 20 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 3 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 GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 80 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): the price of the SAME answer across every provider that sells it: the cheapest tier at which outstanding finance is actually included (the trap the market runs on - several providers' headline price is a tier with finance removed), the price per check at 1, 3 and 5 checks, the data guarantee and its cap, and the UNDERLYING SOURCE each provider names, which is the derivation nobody publishes: most of the market resells one of two databases, so the £19.99 and the £7.99 answer are frequently the same record.
