## 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). 9 of the 17 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 8 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 % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 187 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 provider per pot size of the ALL-IN annual cost of holding a pension in drawdown - platform or account charge, the share and fund dealing charges a drawdown investor actually incurs, the drawdown-specific charge where one exists, and the caps - computed on the same set of pot sizes (£25k, £50k, £100k, £250k, £500k, £1m) so the answer is 'this provider costs you £X a year on your pot'. Nobody publishes that comparably: every provider publishes a tiered percentage with different caps, exclusions and dealing charges. The second derivation is the one the buyer actually wants: the cost of drawdown against the income an annuity would buy from dataset 1, at the same pot, on the same day.
