## 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). 6 of the 12 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 for each breakdown it prices, in year (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 4 figures, never sentences; 12 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 rule with its statute, session year and effective date, quoted verbatim: the one-year notice bar and the eighteen-month supplemental bar, the law-and-ordinance cap the policyholder selects, the deductible and notice duties, what an assignment agreement may and may not carry after the 2022-23 reforms, the pre-suit notice and appraisal clock, and the ten-square-foot threshold above which mold work becomes a licensed activity that may not be done by the assessor. Beside each, the CHANGE HISTORY - this body of law was rewritten three times between 2021 and 2023, and most of what the market publishes is out of date; changed-since is the news
