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).
64 of the 92 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 28 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 4 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 GBP (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 72 figures, never sentences; 978 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 median, quartiles and full range of the monthly retainer band each UK provider publishes, per region and per business-size row it publishes for; the count and share of providers publishing a BAND versus a RATE CARD versus nothing at all; the movement of each provider's own band between reads, and the year-on-year rise the market states about itself (15-30% since 2024 on one publisher's reading, 12-18% since 2023 on another) measured against our own dated snapshots rather than repeated
978 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
