"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). 4 of the 11 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 7 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 count (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. 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): the count of active registered entities and of regulated financial firms in each centre, per release, from each centre's own reporting; the figure is the RATIO the two centres never publish side by side - active entities per regulated firm, the share of each centre that is regulated, and the growth rate of each - joined to the four public registers a named firm is verified against", "embed": "
