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.

The sentence each figure was read from (4)

Read in full, publishes no figure

2 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 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).

2 of the 4 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 2 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 GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 0 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

Derivation as chartered: the median, lower-quartile and upper-quartile gross annual pay for SOC 3412 (authors, writers and translators) from ASHE, cut by UK region, set beside the National Careers Service published range and the statutory Skilled Worker going rate for the same code - and the number nobody publishes: the annual salary that a monthly agency retainer at the price index's median is equivalent to, so the buyer can see the two prices in the same unit
