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).
5 of the 7 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 4 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 20 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; 125 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 network, its published membership tiers normalised to a first-year and an annual renewal cost ex VAT (joining fee plus subscription), and per search firm its fee basis (percentage of first-year fee, fixed fee, day rate) and stated figure; across networks the range of a director's first-year cost, across search firms the median percentage and the fixed-fee band, and the share of each that does not publish
125 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
