 "methodology": "Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through the estate's 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). 8 of the 25 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 17 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; 84 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: per platform: the entry price, the unit it is charged in (seat, study, response, credit, recorded session), the free tier and its response cap, the cost of a recruited participant against bringing your own, and whether the price is published at all - the split between self-serve published pricing and annual-contract-only is the figure, because the platforms that hide it are the expensive ones; the derived cost of one comparable study (five tested users, one journey, recruited) across every platform, which no vendor page states",
