The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in % (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 6 figures, never sentences; 16 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 regulator per publication date: registrants on the register, joiners, leavers and (where the regulator publishes it) the share audited or revalidated, taken from the regulator's own data report; the derivation is the series across regulators on one axis - registrants per regulator over time and the leaver rate - which lets a page say how many registrants are due to revalidate in a given month, a figure no regulator publishes because each publishes only its own", "embed": "
