Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through the estate's 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).
10 of the 51 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 41 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 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; 340 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
Derivation as chartered: the published price per provider per stage tier, normalised to one comparable unit (first valuation, renewal, rush surcharge, and whether the price is per report or per year of unlimited reports), with the median, minimum and maximum at each stage and the count and share of providers publishing a number at all; the renewal discount each provider actually offers against its own first-valuation price - the figure a founder needs and no comparison computes, because every guide quotes a market range and none quotes the same provider twice a year; repriced-since the previous read
340 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
