How the data is gathered
First comes the question and the list of pages worth reading. Then each page is fetched and the figure is captured in the source's own sentence, linked and dated.
A person reviews each sentence before it counts and records the reason when one is turned away. The summary figures use one number per source, and one per breakdown where a source prices several. A source with no figure stays blank, and repeat reads show how the numbers change over time.
