3 of the 13 named sources read in full publish a figure; 10 publish none, read 17 October 2026.

Every figure, with its source

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

The sentence each figure was read from (19)

Read in full, publishes no figure

10 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 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 13 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 10 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 in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 32 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 chargeable item at each escalation step - fixed sum by debt band, reasonable recovery costs, claim issue fee by claim value, hearing fee, enforcement fee, statutory demand, petition deposit - each quoted from the government page that sets it with its effective date; the derived figure is the TOTAL recoverable on a debt of a given size at each step, and the break-even point at which claiming costs more than the interest earned, which no single page states

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