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; 230 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 median, minimum and maximum PUBLISHED fee per REPORT TYPE - crack or defect inspection, full structural survey, RICS Level 3, single-beam calculation, full calculation package - across every UK practice that publishes one, with the London and South East premium measured rather than asserted, and the share of practices that publish a fixed fee at all against those that quote only on enquiry; that share is the finding, because the trade's own cost guides quote ranges nobody can attribute to a practice.",
