Method
Method: a source counts only through a sentence printed on its own page, saved exactly as written with the read date and a checksum of the page text.
8 sources could be read; 2 publish a figure we could use and 6 publish none, recorded as such with nothing filled in.
0 could not be read and are excluded.
Each source contributes one figure, in month, to the median, range and quartiles.
Review set aside 6 candidate sentence(s) and noted why.
Still to come for this dataset (for now the figures are each source's own): per record type and jurisdiction: the statute or rule, the retention period and its trigger; the union of what must exist on file, which is the seller's inventory
6 candidate sentences from these pages did not make it in; a reviewer rejected each one and logged why.
