Every figure, with its source
One row per published figure: the figure as the source's own page publishes it, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

Methodology
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).
2 of the 10 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 8 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 for each breakdown it prices, in day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 4 figures, never sentences; 9 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): one row per jurisdiction per requirement, quoted verbatim from the statute or the regulator with its effective date: whether registration is required at all, the bond or net-worth figure, the financial reporting cadence, the reciprocity states, and federally the CPEO conditions and the client's own residual employment-tax position.
The cross-jurisdiction comparison - how many states license, how many merely register, the range of bond amounts, which states recognise another state's registration - is the figure, and no PEO publishes it because it cuts against the pitch.
9 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
