## 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). 3 of the 34 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 31 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 USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 38 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 cell per provider per attribute, each evidenced by that provider's own page: billing model (per call / per minute / flat / per conversation / per unique customer), billing increment (per second, 30-second, one-minute rounding), setup fee, minimum term and notice, free trial, 24/7 cover, bilingual Spanish, HIPAA and BAA, legal intake, appointment scheduling, call transfer, CRM integration, US-based agents, industries served - and across the cells the counts nobody publishes: how many of the market's providers bill genuinely PER CALL (the head query's premise), how many round to a full minute, how many charge a setup fee, how many will publish any of it at all
