 "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). 4 of the 19 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 15 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; 8 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 organisation per tier, read from the organisation's own dues page: the annual fee, what the tier is called, who qualifies (individual, student, retired, corporate, band by turnover or headcount) and any joining fee separate from the subscription. Across them the figures nobody publishes: the median and range of annual dues by organisation type (professional body, trade association, chamber, alumni association, museum, sports club) and jurisdiction, the median NUMBER of tiers, how often a student or retired tier exists and at what discount, the share pricing by turnover or headcount band rather than a flat fee, and the year-on-year change at the rate turn.",
