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).
7 of the 21 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 14 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 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 EUR (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 16 figures, never sentences; 72 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 route per fee component - application or administrative fee, government contribution, charitable donation, residence card, each dependant, the property floor to buy and to rent, the income or asset threshold - each quoted from the administering agency's own page with its effective date; across them the figure nobody publishes: the all-in first-year and five-year cost of every route side by side, for a single applicant and for a family of four, cheapest route per buyer profile, and changed-since the previous read, which is the news every time a legal notice moves a fee
72 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
