 "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 38 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 35 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 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 EUR (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 97 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): price per GB per day of validity for every travel-eSIM provider that publishes a plan for a destination, across the destinations these buyers name (Turkey, Spain, France, Portugal, India, UK, Europe-wide); the cheapest per destination, the spread between the global aggregators and the UK operators' own eSIM tariffs, and which providers publish an unlimited plan and at what fair-use ceiling - a comparison nobody makes because each provider publishes only its own currency and its own validity ladder",
