Landlord reference letter: Tenant Referencing Index

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 25 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 21 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 4 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 GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 35 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: the published price per check, what the check actually contains (identity, credit, adverse credit, income and affordability, employer reference, PREVIOUS LANDLORD reference, right to rent), who is allowed to pay for it in that jurisdiction, and the turnaround.

The derivation nobody publishes: the price of the same check across the market at each level (credit-only, full reference, guarantor), and the striking split the read itself shows - the US screening market publishes a per-report price openly while the largest GB referencing providers (HomeLet, Goodlord/Vouch, Let Alliance, Canopy) publish no per-reference price at all because they sell through letting agents, so the GB median is computed over the small transparent end of the market and the quote-only share is the headline.

35 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
