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).
14 of the 58 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 44 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 for each breakdown it prices, in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 15 figures, never sentences; 123 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): the published starting price per survey type (preliminary roost assessment, bat emergence survey, preliminary ecological appraisal, great crested newt survey) across every UK consultancy that publishes one on its own site: the median, the minimum, the maximum and the spread, per survey type and per region.
Beside it the figure the market will not state about itself: the SHARE of consultancies that publish a price at all against those that answer only with a quote form, counted over the same discovered set - on this first read 26 pages publish a figure and roughly as many, read OK, publish none.
Repriced-since each read; a starting price that moves is the news.
123 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
