The method
Each dataset begins with a written question and a list of the pages that might answer it. We read those pages and keep the sentence that states the figure word for word, together with its link and the date.
Review comes next: each sentence is kept or rejected, with the reason logged. The headline numbers treat every source equally, one figure each, or one for each breakdown it prices. Where a source says nothing we say so, and the next scheduled read shows any movement.
