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; 134 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: one row per cover type per jurisdiction per business size: the published premium, its limit and its deductible, beside the registrar's own filing fee; the derivations nobody publishes are the MEDIAN published premium for a software or web development firm at each revenue band, the spread between insurers for the same limit, the total first-year cost of being legally set up and covered in each jurisdiction, and how that has moved - all of it read from insurers that publish a number rather than from a broker's quote form",
