The sentence each figure was read from (22)

Read in full, publishes no figure

37 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).

22 of the 59 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 37 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 3 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; 230 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, minimum and maximum advertised price per employee per month across every vendor that publishes one, computed over publishing vendors only and normalised to one currency and one billing basis (per-user, per-location and flat-fee plans converted to a cost at 5, 10, 25 and 100 employees, which is the comparison no vendor makes); the share of the market that publishes a price at all versus quote-only; the free-tier map - which vendor is free, to how many employees, at how many locations, and what the free plan drops; repriced-since the previous read

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