## 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). 23 of the 56 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 33 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 3 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 USD (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 37 figures, never sentences; 833 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): median, minimum and maximum published hourly cost per aircraft model across every publisher that states one, split into variable (fuel, maintenance labour, parts, engine reserve) and fixed (crew, hangar, insurance, subscriptions) where the source separates them; the spread between the cheapest and dearest published figure for the same model, which routinely runs 2-3x and which nobody publishes; the count and share of models with a published figure versus quote-only; the ownership-versus-charter crossover hours per model, computed from the fixed annual total and the charter hourly rate for the same type; repriced-since the previous read
