## 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). 4 of the 19 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 15 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 2 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 USD (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 15 figures, never sentences; 67 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 transaction per emirate: the authority, the statutory fee quoted verbatim with its effective date and the resolution or service card that sets it, beside the median agent fee for the same transaction from the price index; the MARGIN (agent fee minus authority fee, and as a percentage) is the derived figure and no one in this market publishes it; changed-since each read, which is the news when a fee schedule turns
