Every figure, with its source

One row per source: the figure the source's own page publishes, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

Read in full, publishes no figure

16 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

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).

5 of the 21 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; 128 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

Derivation as chartered: the published fee per matter type per jurisdiction, and the publication rate itself: England and Wales firms must publish prices for named matters under the SRA transparency rules, so a fixed-fee divorce is quotable to the pound and the spread across firms is real (£399+VAT to £1,500 for the same applicant divorce on the five firms read here), while the US side is hourly and retainer bands published voluntarily by a minority.

Beside it, the statutory ceilings that cap what any of them may charge - the 25% LASPO success-fee cap in GB and the SSA's $9,200 disability representative cap in the US - so a quoted fee can be read against its legal maximum.

128 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
