The sentence each figure was read from (18)

Read in full, publishes no figure

28 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).

17 of the 45 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 28 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 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 18 figures, never sentences; 97 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 course (3a, 3b, 3a+3b dual, 1b static boom, triple 1b+3a+3b, harness user, PAV, MEWPs for Managers) the median, quartiles and range of the per-person price centres publish, normalised ex VAT, plus the online-booking discount where a centre prints both; the share of centres that publish at all; nobody publishes this across the market

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