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 12 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 9 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 2 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 year (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 6 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 obligation - the consent standard for calls, email and SMS, the soft opt-in conditions, the 28-day TPS and CTPS screening duty, the lead generator's disclosure duty under CONC 8.9 and CMCOB 2.2, and the financial promotion rule - each quoted from the body that made it, beside the ICO's own penalty record for that obligation (the firm, the count of calls or messages, the amount).
The join of the rule to what it has actually cost is what nobody publishes in one place.
6 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
