Every figure, with its source

One row per published figure: the figure as the source's own page publishes it, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

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).

4 of the 94 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 90 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 CAD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 397 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 provider per fee model: the rate it publishes (contingency percentage, flat fee, hourly, or a schedule by refund band), the province and city it serves, whether the fee is capped, and whether it publishes anything at all.

Across those rows the figures nobody publishes: the median, minimum and maximum PUBLISHED rate by model; the share of providers publishing a rate versus a model versus silence, per province and per provider tier (software platform, dedicated SR&ED boutique, CPA practice, national accounting firm, financing arm); the cost of the same $200,000 claim under each published schedule, which is the only way the flat-fee and contingency worlds can be compared at all; and repriced-since the previous read

397 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
