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).
2 of the 7 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 5 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 3 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 count (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 22 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
Derivation as chartered: the count of registered veterinary practice premises from the RCVS's own register and annual Facts series, split by nation, region and Practice Standards accreditation level, as a series across editions; joined to the CMA's market-investigation findings on group ownership it gives the figure a practice buyer actually wants - how many practices compete in its own area and what share of them are owned by one of the large groups, which is the competitive picture behind the head query and which no marketing agency publishes
22 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
