How we build each dataset
First comes the question and the list of pages worth reading. Then each page is fetched and the figure is captured in the source's own sentence, linked and dated.
Each candidate sentence passes through review, and any rejection carries a written reason. The median and range count one figure per source, one per breakdown where a source gives several. Sources without a figure are marked rather than guessed, and regular re-reads track what moves.
