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).
3 of the 9 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 6 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 % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 67 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): the quarterly series of receipts, disposals, open caseload and Acas early-conciliation notifications, joined per claim type, and expressed as the figures a reader asks for and nobody publishes together: the share of notifications that become claims, the open caseload's implied wait, and the movement in each since the Act's commencement stages began
67 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
