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 13 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 10 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 day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 2 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 task a contractor actually does to an asbestos cement roof - clean, repair, remove intact, remove broken, overclad, dispose - against the regime it falls into (non-licensed, notifiable non-licensed, licensable) with the regulation and the HSE task sheet that puts it there, the notice period, the medical and record duties, and the consignment-note charge; joined to the cost index so the page that quotes a strip-and-re-sheet rate states the regime that rate assumes.
Quoted verbatim from the instrument or the regulator with its effective date; a contractor's restatement is never the source.
2 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
