## 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 16 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 10 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; 51 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: two dated series joined: the registration pipeline (applications received, registered, refused, rejected, withdrawn, and the determination time) as the FCA has published it at each date, and the financial-promotions enforcement series (promotions amended or withdrawn, alerts issued on unauthorised firms, final notices, takedowns) by quarter and year. The derivation is the ATTRITION RATE and its denominator problem: the share of applications that end in registration depends entirely on whether withdrawals are counted, and the FCA's own releases at different dates use different bases - so the dataset carries the rate on every base, with the base named, which is the one thing the secondary coverage of this number never does.
