The sentence each figure was read from (179)

Read in full, publishes no figure

64 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).

179 of the 243 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 64 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 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; 374 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): per advertised role (a GOV.UK public appointment, an NHS trust or ICB non-executive advert, a housing association or charity board advert), the remuneration the advert itself states, verbatim, with its unit (per annum or per day), the body, the role (chair or member/NED), the time commitment and the advert's own dates; across roles the median, quartiles and range of the annual fee and, separately, of the stated day rate, by board type (public body, NHS, housing and charity) and by role (chair against member), and the share of advertised seats that state no remuneration at all (unpaid or expenses only), counted from the adverts and never estimated

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