Where the figures come from
Each dataset begins with a written question and a list of the pages that might answer it. We read those pages and keep the sentence that states the figure word for word, together with its link and the date.
A person reviews each sentence before it counts and records the reason when one is turned away. The summary figures use one number per source, and one per breakdown where a source prices several. A source with no figure stays blank, and repeat reads show how the numbers change over time.
