 "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). 87 of the 112 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 25 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 185 figures, never sentences; 1826 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): median, minimum and maximum published cost for each named project type - readiness assessment, proof of concept, chatbot, voice agent, RAG knowledge base, agent, computer vision, fine-tune, enterprise programme - across every builder and consultancy that publishes a figure, expressed BOTH as the headline range the publisher states and as an implied blended day rate where the publisher also gives a duration, because the same $50k means six weeks at one firm and six months at another and nobody normalises it; the hourly rate by region and firm tier from the same sources; the run-rate as a percentage of build, which most publishers state and none aggregates; and the spread between the cheapest and dearest published figure for the same project type, which routinely runs 10x",
