The sentence each figure was read from (12)

Read in full, publishes no figure

17 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).

9 of the 26 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 17 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 6 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 11 figures, never sentences; 159 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 published from-price per insurer per cover (professional indemnity, employers' liability, public liability, cyber) beside the standard limit each states, and the count of insurers publishing a price at all against those that quote only - the spread across insurers for the SAME limit, which no broker publishes because each shows its own headline number

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