## 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). 6 of the 60 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 54 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 GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 398 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 product on HMRC's recognised-software list: does it payroll benefits today, does its own site state a 2027 position, what does it charge (base fee, per-employee or per-payslip), and is the benefits module included or an add-on. Across the index: the share of the RECOGNISED universe that publishes a price at all, the median per-employee cost by headcount band, and the share that has published a 2027 readiness statement - a coverage map of an industry that is about to be forced to change, which nobody keeps because the comparison houses sell their databases and count only the vendors that pay to be in them.
