 "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 20 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 18 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 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 USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 14 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 tool per plan: the published price per user or per family per year, what the free tier includes, and the renewal price where stated; across each category the median and range, the count publishing a price at all, and the free-tier feature floor - and the cross-category figure the buyer actually wants, what a household pays for the whole set against a single bundled suite",
