Read in full, publishes no figure

8 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

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).

18 of the 26 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 8 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 46 figures, never sentences; 317 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, lowest and highest published hourly rate per aircraft category (turboprop, very light, light, midsize, super-midsize, heavy, ultra-long-range) across every operator and broker that publishes one, in USD and GBP separately, plus the all-in multiplier each publisher states between the headline hour and the invoice (positioning, daily minimum, fuel surcharge, landing and handling) and the count publishing a number at all.

The market's habit is one house's range per page; the cross-publisher distribution per category, the currency split and the spread between the cheapest and dearest published hour are ours, and the multiplier is what turns an hourly rate into the estimate the keyword asks for.

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