Every figure, with its source
One row per source: the figure the source's own page publishes, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

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).
2 of the 5 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 3 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 for each breakdown it prices, in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 10 figures, never sentences; 6 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 out-of-service rate by inspection level, by violation group and by year, computed from FMCSA's inspection files beside CVSA's own published Roadcheck results, so the annual enforcement baseline and the three-day blitz are read against each other - the gap between them is the finding nobody publishes; the vehicle rate and the driver rate carried separately because they move in opposite directions; the leading OOS violation per year and its share
6 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
