The sentence each figure was read from (185)

Read in full, publishes no figure

22 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

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).

51 of the 73 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 22 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 USD (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 134 figures, never sentences; 741 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 median, minimum and maximum published hourly rate per aircraft category and per named aircraft type, computed ACROSS every operator and broker that publishes one - with the share that publishes a number at all versus quote-only, the spread between the cheapest and dearest publisher for the same type, the gap between the advertised rate and the all-in rate once the daily minimum, positioning, fuel surcharge and excise tax are added, and repriced-since the previous read.

No incumbent publishes the spread: each publishes its own number and calls it the market.

741 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
