## 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). 11 of the 24 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 13 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 5 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 USD (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 13 figures, never sentences; 228 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 median, low and high INSTALLED price per system type (AC only, AC plus gas furnace, heat pump, packaged unit) per tonnage band per Texas metro, computed across every contractor that publishes a price at all - plus the two figures nobody publishes: the SHARE of Texas contractors who publish a number rather than 'call for a quote', and the spread between the cheapest and dearest published band in the same metro for the same system. Re-read monthly, so the 2026 refrigerant and tariff pass-through shows as a series rather than a claim.
