Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through the estate's 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 15 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 12 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 7 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 NZD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 79 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
Derivation as chartered: the median, minimum and maximum published fee ACROSS every NZ firm that publishes one, by transaction (purchase, sale, refinance, KiwiSaver withdrawal) and by whether a mortgage is involved - and, the split that matters here, whether the quoted figure is GST-and-disbursements INCLUSIVE or a bare fee, which is what makes two NZ quotes incomparable until someone normalises them
79 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
