Read in full, publishes no figure

8 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through the estate's 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).

3 of the 11 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 8 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 5 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 month (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 obligation per nation: the instrument, the section or article, what it obliges, who enforces it, and the maximum penalty on summary conviction and on indictment, quoted from the legislation with the date read.

The derivation is the honest answer to the question every incumbent page fudges - no UK statute says 'install a grease trap'; the requirement is the combined effect of a sewer-discharge offence, a building-regulation guidance clause recommending a BS EN 1825 separator, a producer duty of care over the waste once it leaves, and a trade-effluent consent - shown as a table of what each instrument actually says.

The cross-nation comparison is the figure: Scotland's Sewerage (Scotland) Act 1968 names 'grease, fat, oil' in the offence itself and carries a stated GBP 40,000 summary maximum, while England and Wales reach the same place through a general prohibition with a statutory-maximum fine and a daily further fine, and Northern Ireland through an entirely separate order.

7 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
