Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through the estate's 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 14 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 11 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; 40 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
Derivation as chartered: the establishment count for advertising agencies and marketing consulting (NAICS 541810 and 541613 in the US County Business Patterns, SIC 73110 in the ONS business-counts release) per state and metro, and the occupational employment and median wage for the people inside them (BLS OES advertising and promotions managers, market research analysts, web developers; ONS ASHE for the UK), each quoted with its reference period; the derivation is the ratio the agency market has never had - agencies per 10,000 registered businesses per metro, ranked, beside the median published retainer for that metro from the price index, so a buyer can see whether their city is crowded or thin and what that does to the price.
40 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
