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).
10 of the 52 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 42 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 2 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 USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 148 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): the published per-employee-per-month price of every HR, scheduling, engagement, time and onboarding product an employer is sold, normalised to cost per employee at 10, 50 and 250 employees and to a total HR stack cost; the SHARE of each category that publishes a price at all versus quote-only, which is the finding - the category sells on 'contact sales' - and the platform-fee floor a small employer actually pays once minimums are applied
148 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
