How the data is gathered
The work starts with a question and the URLs of the pages that should answer it. We read each one and record the figure exactly as the page puts it, with the link and the date of the read.
Review comes next: each sentence is kept or rejected, with the reason logged. The headline numbers treat every source equally, one figure each, or one for each breakdown it prices. Where a source says nothing we say so, and the next scheduled read shows any movement.
