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).
19 of the 66 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 47 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 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 21 figures, never sentences; 587 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, lower and upper published price per unit (per square foot of wall, per room, per cabinet door, per linear foot, per hour) across every US painting company that publishes one, cut by scope (interior, exterior, cabinets, deck, ceiling, commercial) and by metro; the count and share of companies publishing a price at all versus quote-only; the labour share each publisher states; and repriced-since the previous read - nobody publishes the spread across publishers, only their own number
587 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
