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).
2 of the 18 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 16 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 % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 100 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): a decision table: liable person, trigger (building control application or initial notice on or after 1 October 2026), the exemptions with their thresholds, the PDL discount test, payment and review deadlines, each line cited to the regulation that sets it
100 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
