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).
13 of the 35 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 22 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 % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 115 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
Derivation as chartered: one row per (jurisdiction x industry) portable scheme - the authority, the statute, who must register, the employer levy as a percentage of ordinary wages or of project cost, the service days that qualify, and the weeks the scheme pays - assembled across all eight jurisdictions, which no authority does because each publishes only its own.
The figures nobody else has: the spread of employer levy rates across the whole country for the same industry (contract cleaning runs 0.5% in Queensland against 1.07% in the ACT), the count of jurisdictions covering each industry, and the levy rate CHANGED-SINCE the last read, which is the news every time a board or a minister moves one.
115 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
