## 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). 4 of the 7 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 3 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 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 % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 76 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 published benchmark per metric: completion or conversion rate by form type, by field count and by step count, each attributed to the report that published it with its sample and its date; ours is the SPREAD across publishers (the range of reported completion rates for the same form type, and how far the field-count curves disagree), which is the honest answer to a question every single report answers as if it were settled
