Every figure, with its source
One row per source: the figure the source's own page publishes, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through the estate's 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).
3 of the 12 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 9 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 in week (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 51 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
Derivation as chartered: one row per band of continuous service carrying the NES minimum notice, the over-45 addition, and the redundancy weeks, each quoted from the authority with its effective date - then the thing no authority publishes: the two scales COMBINED into a single dollar figure for a given end date, service length, age, ordinary rate and employer size, with the small-business redundancy exemption and the section 123 exclusions applied, and the unfair-dismissal eligibility (minimum employment period, the indexed high income threshold, the 21-day application window) resolved on the same inputs.
The threshold is indexed every 1 July, so the table is also a SERIES: the high income threshold and each redundancy band across years, and the changed-since diff at each indexation.
51 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
