## Methodology

Every number traces to a quoted sentence on the publisher's page, captured on the date shown along with a hash of the page text. 2 of 4 readable sources publish a figure; 2 were read in full and publish nothing, so they are counted as silent; 1 could not be reached. The summary statistics use one value per source in GBP. 43 candidate sentence(s) were rejected in review, each for a recorded reason. What this dataset is chartered to add later, beyond the published figures shown: per platform: pay basis, published minimum, payout rail and cadence, entry test, referral bonus; across: share paying per task vs per hour, share with a published minimum
