 "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). 2 of the 15 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 13 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 5 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 week (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 31 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: one row per jurisdiction per obligation - licence required, fee-to-worker prohibition, terms that must be given in writing, bias-audit and notice duties for automated screening, pay-range disclosure, record retention for candidate data - each quoted verbatim from the authority with its effective date and the penalty; the cross-jurisdiction comparison (which markets bar a fee, which require a bias audit, which require a pay range in the advert) is the figure, and changed-since is the news",
