 "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). 2 of the 22 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 20 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 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; 48 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 published price per recruiter, per job and per month across every ATS that publishes one, at 1, 5 and 20 recruiters and at 5, 20 and 100 open jobs, because the two billing bases are not comparable and every roundup pretends they are; the free-tier map - which ATS is free, to how many active jobs, users and candidates, and what the free plan drops; and the quote-only share of the enterprise tier",
