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 32 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 30 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 6 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; 236 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): per undertaker the six Mogden parameters for 2026/27 and the change on 2025/26; the median, minimum and maximum unit charge (pence per m3) at standard strength and at a stated COD and suspended solids across every undertaker; the cost of a worked discharge in each area; which undertakers added an ammonia charge or banded by volume
236 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
