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).
7 of the 23 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 16 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 2 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; 52 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): one row per ACSP that publishes a fee: the per-person price, whether VAT is on top, the turnaround, the surcharge for an overseas document and the multi-director discount; the derivation is the SPREAD on a check whose content is fixed by statute - the same verification at £19 and at £700 - with the median, the count of agents publishing a price at all against those quoting on request, and the free GOV.UK One Login route as the floor the whole index sits above
52 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
