Read in full, publishes no figure

80 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).

2 of the 82 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 80 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 USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 633 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 spread of the PUBLISHED fee for each audit type, computed only over firms that publish one, beside the share of firms in each type that publish at all - the figure this market hides, because a fee is normally a quote.

Axes: audit type, segment (compliance / digital / physical), firm size band, jurisdiction and currency, pricing unit (fixed fee, day rate, per man-day, per page, per square foot, per user per month), and time.

The derivation nobody else has is the per-type ratio of platform subscription to audit fee, since the same buyer pays both and the two are published by different firms.

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