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).
16 of the 24 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 8 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 3 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 AUD (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 16 figures, never sentences; 94 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 cell per insurer per cover - accidental damage, malicious damage by tenant, loss of rent, theft by tenant, contents, property owners' liability, multi-property, commercial, HMO, rent default - reading included, optional or excluded and the LIMIT the insurer's own page or wording states; the count of insurers covering each peril and the spread of limits across the market, which no insurer publishes because each publishes only its own schedule
94 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
