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.

Read in full, publishes no figure

4 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

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 7 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 4 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 in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 30 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

Derivation as chartered: the Commission's lodgment counts by application type per financial year, joined to the ABS's count of people who left or lost a job and were retrenched in the same period, giving the derived figure neither body publishes: the DISPUTE RATE - applications per thousand separations - and its direction over years, beside the share of unfair dismissal applications resolved at conciliation.

It is the number that tells a reader whether the notice they were given is worth arguing about, which is exactly what the buyer is deciding.

30 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
