## 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). 3 of the 13 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 10 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 USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 35 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 series per metro per quarter: NAICS 493 establishments, employment, average weekly wage and the producer price index for the service, from QCEW and County Business Patterns, with the size distribution from SUSB. The derivation is the join nobody makes: establishments per metro against the register's licensed count (what share is licensed) and against the rate index's published rates (what a pallet costs where labour costs what it costs). Changed-since on each release; the rate-year and release turns are the news.
