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).
3 of the 27 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 24 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; 68 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 maker per series per size: hair (Kolinsky sable, red sable, squirrel blend, synthetic taklon, hog bristle, goat), shape (round, filbert, rigger, mop, flat, spotter, palette/painting knife), handle length, the head dimensions the maker publishes and the price; the derived figures are price per size across makers, the count of series still made in Kolinsky against synthetic, the cheapest series that publishes a size 0, and what changed since the previous read - a discontinued Kolinsky series being the news the trade actually watches
68 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
