## 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). 5 of the 27 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 22 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 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.
