## Every figure, with its source

One row per source: the figure the source's own page publishes, the page, and the day it was read.

## 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). 2 of the 10 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 7 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 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 % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 27 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: the measured state of the web joined across the three public measurements - the Core Web Vitals pass rate from CrUX at its published thresholds, the median Lighthouse accessibility score and the error counts from the Web Almanac, and the WebAIM Million's home-page failure rate - read as a SERIES year on year and cut to the verticals this estate's other datasets cover, so a buyer sees the number their redesign has to beat rather than a global average; beside it the migration requirement table generated from the search engines' own site-move documentation (what must redirect, what must be resubmitted, what is expected to move and when)
