## 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). 20 of the 37 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 17 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 4 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 USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 247 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 installer per project type per region: the published installed rate per square foot, the labour-only rate where it is separated, and what the quote includes (excavation, base depth, bedding, cutting, polymeric sand, edge restraint). Across them: the median and spread of the installed rate by region and project type, the LABOUR SHARE of the installed price - which is the figure the venture's own calculator needs and which no aggregator computes because they publish a blended band - the premium a pool deck or driveway carries over a patio, and the gap between the manufacturers' published material price and the installers' installed price.
