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).
9 of the 52 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 43 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 GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 527 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): Every competitor on this query writes 'legal fees vary' and stops.
Ours is the measurement: the median, minimum and maximum advertised professional fee for a sponsor licence application across every UK adviser that publishes one, quoted verbatim from the adviser's own page with its retrieval date; the SHARE of advisers that publish a price at all against those that quote only on request, which on the first harvest is the single most surprising number here (the range read runs from £1,200 at Vanguard to £6,500 at Richmond Chambers for the same application - a 5x spread on a fixed-price service); the split between a fixed fee and an hourly rate, with the hourly bands where a firm publishes them; the same figure per region, because the reads already show London and City firms at the top of the range; and repriced-since the previous read.
A firm that publishes nothing is recorded not-published, and that count is one of the index's published figures.
527 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
