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

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; 81 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): the median, minimum and maximum published price per user per month across every employee-communication vendor that publishes one, with the SHARE that publishes at all versus quote-only, which is the figure nobody else computes, because the enterprise half of this market (Staffbase, Workvivo, Simpplr, Firstup, Haiilo, Poppulo, Unily, YOOBIC, Zipline) prices by quote while the frontline half (Blink, Connecteam, Speakap, Jostle, MangoApps) publishes; plus the floor price a team of 25, 100 and 1,000 actually pays once minimums and base fees are applied, and repriced-since the previous read", "embed": "
