How the data is gathered
First comes the question and the list of pages worth reading. Then each page is fetched and the figure is captured in the source's own sentence, linked and dated.
Every candidate sentence is accepted or rejected by a reviewer, who writes down why. Each source then counts once in the median and range, or once for each breakdown it prices. Pages that state nothing are listed as silent, not estimated, and each dataset is read again on schedule so changes show up.
