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).
7 of the 9 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 2 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 % (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 18 figures, never sentences; 34 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 scheme per item at the rate the authority states - a grant contribution per cubic metre of slurry storage, a capital allowance percentage per year, a VAT liability - joined to the cost index above so the page can state the NET cost of a building rather than its list price, which is the number the buyer is actually deciding on and which no grant page and no fabricator publishes together
34 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
