## 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). 2 of the 9 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 6 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 NZD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 27 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: one row per statutory charge - LINZ lodgement per instrument, the council LIM by district, and the tax position on sale - with the total statutory cost of a standard transfer computed and set beside the legal fee, so the reader can see what share of the bill no firm controls; the LIM by district is the axis nobody publishes across councils
