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 23 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 21 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 USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 247 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 rule with its authority and effective date, quoted verbatim: the southeast regional minimum SEER2 for split systems above and below 45,000 Btu from 10 CFR 430.32, the installation-date rule that decides whether stock equipment may still be fitted, the Florida Building Code Mechanical provisions a change-out is inspected against, the statutory permit and inspection duty, and one mechanical permit fee per county read from that county's own adopted schedule; the derivation nobody publishes is the COUNTY SPREAD - the same job's permit cost from Miami-Dade's percentage-of-value basis to Broward's $0.52 per $1,000 to Jacksonville's flat minimum - and changed-since, which is the news on a code edition or a standard's compliance date
247 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
