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 day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 7 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: one row per rule per stage of a claim - schedule served, quantified demand, response, without-prejudice meeting, ADR, proceedings - with the deadline the protocol sets and the authority it comes from, and beside it the CAP rules that decide what the landlord can actually recover; the derivation is the TIMETABLE a tenant or landlord can date from their own lease-end (nobody publishes it as dated arithmetic), plus the count and share of surveying practices that publish a fee for each stage from the fee index", "embed": "
