IT support rates: MSP Published Price Index

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).

3 of the 7 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 4 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 in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 28 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): For every provider in the roster, the LOWEST monthly amount per seat it publishes for a paid plan on its own pages, quoted verbatim with the retrieval date and pinned to a sha256 of the page text at that moment.

The unit (user or workstation) is printed beside each figure and never converted.

Across the roster we compute the count that publishes a figure, the count that publishes none, the count whose pricing page could not be read, and the median, minimum and maximum of the published set.

The published COUNT is the derivation nobody else has: the market's own answer to 'will anyone tell me the price', measured rather than asserted.

Re-read monthly, so a figure that moves is a series and the site can say 'changed since'.

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