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; 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 USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 26 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 US state per requirement, quoted verbatim from that state's own statute, regulation or regulator page with its effective date: whether a written estimate is required and above what dollar threshold, what the estimate and the invoice must each itemise, the percentage or dollar tolerance by which the final bill may exceed the authorised estimate, the customer's right to the replaced parts, the record-retention period, and whether the state registers or licenses repair shops at all; the CROSS-STATE comparison, the strictest and loosest tolerance, the spread of estimate thresholds, the count of states that register shops, is the figure, and no publisher maintains it; changed-since, which is the news when a state amends its repair act", "embed": "
