Read in full, publishes no figure

41 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).

8 of the 47 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 41 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 8 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 GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 644 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 firm, its own published fee normalised to a day rate and a monthly retainer ex VAT, tagged by product (async advisory plan, days-per-month retainer, hands-on delivery retainer, recruiter-placed interim day rate), stage served (pre-seed, seed, Series A+, SME) and region; across firms the median, quartiles and range of the day rate and of the 1-day-a-week monthly fee, the London premium against the regions, the share of firms that publish versus quote-only (a firm with no published fee is counted as does-not-publish, never estimated), and the 1-day-a-week fee as a share of the ONS full-time IT director cost plus employer on-costs; every figure dated to the read

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