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).
14 of the 44 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 30 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 in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 133 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
Derivation as chartered: one row per company per published price: the figure, whether it is inc or ex VAT, the survey type it buys (look-and-see, full domestic with report, homebuyer/pre-purchase, commercial), how many manholes or access points are included and what each extra costs, whether the report is WRc/MSCC-coded and whether footage and a drainage plan come with it, the call-out or excavation extras, and the company's region.
Derived across them, which nobody publishes because each company publishes only itself: the median and range for each survey type, the real price of the report as the gap between look-and-see and full-report from the same company, the per-extra-manhole rate, the share of companies publishing a price at all rather than quote-only, the share quoting ex VAT (which is how a £199 quote becomes £239), the London and regional premium as a measured number, and repriced-since on each monthly read.
133 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
