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).
4 of the 12 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 8 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 USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 8 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 row per credential (CVA, ABV, ASA/AM, CBV, RICS Registered Valuer, CFA) per jurisdiction: what the body requires to grant it (experience hours, examination, CPD), how many hold it, whether a public directory lets a buyer verify a named holder, and whether the credential is a statutory requirement or a private accreditation.
The derivation is the CREDENTIAL MAP - the hours, exam and CPD demanded for each, side by side, and the count of holders per state, province and country - which no single body publishes because each publishes only its own.
8 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
