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 5 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 2 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 for each breakdown it prices, in NZD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 5 figures, never sentences; 50 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): the Labour Inspectorate's remediation totals and employees remediated as a series beside the Stats NZ quarterly earnings series, giving the two numbers a final-pay page can open on: how much this calculation has been got wrong ($237m paid to 227,300 employees on the regulator's own reading) and what a quarter's average weekly earnings are, so a user's own figure has a scale; each release is a dated observation sourced to the agency, never ours", "embed": "
