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).
39 of the 82 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 43 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 2 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 29 figures, never sentences; 887 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): the median, minimum and maximum published FIRST-YEAR price and ANNUAL RENEWAL price per jurisdiction across every agent that publishes one, split by jurisdiction, by what the package includes (government fee inside or outside, registered agent, registered office, nominee, bank introduction) and by time; beside it the SHARE of agents that publish a price at all rather than quoting, the government fee separated from the agent fee (read from the registry, never from the agent), and the ratio between them - which is the figure the buyer cannot get anywhere: in the jurisdictions read, the statutory fee is a small and roughly constant part of a first-year price that varies by two orders of magnitude
887 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
