## 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 13 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 11 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 week (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 10 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 jurisdiction per activity: the statute or licence condition, what it binds (the operator, the customer, or both), and the penalty, quoted verbatim from the regulator or the statute with its effective date; the derivation is the cross-jurisdiction table showing where the duty falls on the OPERATOR and the customer commits no offence against where the customer does - the distinction every consumer guide on this subject blurs
