How the data is gathered
Each dataset begins with a written question and a list of the pages that might answer it. We read those pages and keep the sentence that states the figure word for word, together with its link and the date.
Each candidate sentence passes through review, and any rejection carries a written reason. The median and range count one figure per source, one per breakdown where a source gives several. Sources without a figure are marked rather than guessed, and regular re-reads track what moves.
