 "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). 2 of the 31 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 29 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 4 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 GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 205 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: the SECTOR PREMIUM, measured rather than asserted: the median and spread of published recruitment-specific SEO prices set against the median of published general UK SEO retainers from the same reads, so the buyer can see what the word 'recruitment' adds to a quote; beside it the deliverable-per-pound where a provider publishes one (BCS quotes landing pages per month, Cloudswitched quotes target keywords per tier), the share of self-described specialists that publish any figure at all, and the same buyer's OTHER published software and job-board costs, which is the budget this fee is actually competing against",
