 "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). 8 of the 14 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 6 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 EUR (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 13 figures, never sentences; 121 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 relief crossover surface. Revenue states three reliefs as three separate rules; across a grid of (average annual pay x full years of service x ex-gratia size x pension lump sum taken) we compute which relief is highest at every point, where the boundaries between them fall, and what share of a payment survives tax - including where the EUR200,000 lifetime limit starts to bind. Nobody publishes the map, only the three rules.",
