## 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). 5 of the 32 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 27 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; 115 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): median, minimum and maximum published price per user per month and per licence across every vendor that publishes one, split by product class (LIMS, ELN, LIS, inventory) and by tier; the SHARE of vendors publishing a price at all, which on the first read is the striking number, with the quote-only vendors named as the denominator; the free and open-source tier set beside the paid ones; the per-user price at 5, 10, 25 and 100 users where a vendor publishes a volume curve; and the movement in each vendor's published price between reads. Nobody publishes this: the market's own cost articles are each one vendor's estimate of everyone else.
