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).
5 of the 54 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 49 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 4 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; 413 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
Derivation as chartered: The median, minimum and maximum published price per square foot and per job for each of eleven job types (mould remediation, attic mould, crawl-space mould, basement mould, black-mould containment, water mitigation, water extraction, structural drying, fire and smoke restoration, sewage cleanup, biohazard and hoarding cleanup), cut by IICRC water category 1/2/3 and by region, computed across every firm that publishes one and NOT across the marketplaces that dominate this SERP.
The figure nobody has is the SPREAD and the SHARE: on the reads behind this charter, restoration firms' own cost pages cite HomeAdvisor, HomeGuide and Angi more often than they cite their own job files, so the index separates a firm quoting a marketplace from a firm quoting itself and publishes both counts.
Also the category premium (what category 3 costs over category 1 at the same square footage), the minimum-call-out charge where one is stated, and repriced-since the previous read.
413 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
