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).
3 of the 5 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 2 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 7 figures, never sentences; 61 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 contract route (off-premises, distance, on-premises) per remedy: the statutory cancellation period and when it starts, the extension where the trader failed to give the required information, the refund deadline, and on top of that what the consumer code (RECC or HIES) and TrustMark add - deposit protection, an insurance-backed guarantee, a dispute route - each quoted with its regulation number or code clause; the derived figure is the CANCELLATION CALENDAR for a named situation ('signed at my kitchen table three weeks ago, installed last Tuesday'), which no authority publishes because the statute publishes the rule and the code publishes the scheme and nobody joins them
61 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
