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). 13 of the 61 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 48 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; 113 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 consultancy per survey type (preliminary roost assessment, dusk emergence and dawn re-entry, activity transect, mitigation licence and method statement), recording the published price, whether it is inclusive of VAT, travel and report, and the survey count the price buys. Across them the figures nobody publishes: the median, minimum and maximum published price per survey type; the share of consultancies publishing a price at all against those quoting only, which on the first read is roughly one in four; the ratio of the phase-2 emergence price to the phase-1 assessment price, which is what the buyer's condition actually turns on; the price by region; and repriced-since the previous read.", "embed": "
