 "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 14 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 11 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 4 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 EUR (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 13 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): one row per vendor per plan holding the price AND its unit - per page, per gigabyte, per user per month, or a flat monthly fee - the users, storage and pages included, the overage rate, the minimum term and whether the price is published or quoted. The unit is the point: this market prices the same product four different ways, so the derivation is a NORMALISED cost for a stated deal (a named page count, gigabyte count, user count and duration) computed for every vendor whose published terms allow it, which is the only way a per-page vendor and a flat-fee vendor can be compared at all. Beside it the publication rate by market tier, because the enterprise vendors quote rather than publish and a buyer deserves to know that before they book five demos",
