How the data is gathered
Each dataset begins with a written question and a list of the pages that might answer it. We read those pages and keep the sentence that states the figure word for word, together with its link and the date.
Nothing counts until a reviewer has accepted the sentence, and every rejection is noted with its reason. One figure per source feeds the median, or one for every breakdown a source prices. Silent sources are recorded as such, and later reads reveal what has changed.
