Virtual data room pricing: VDR Pricing 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).

17 of the 41 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 24 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 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 11 figures, never sentences; 138 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): Across every vendor whose own pricing page the box can open: the SHARE that publishes a price at all versus quote-gates it - the market's defining number and the one every incumbent guide asserts without a source; the median, minimum and maximum published entry price per month; the split by METER (flat monthly, per user, per page, per GB of storage, per project, per deal), which is what makes four published numbers incomparable and is why a normalised price-per-month-at-a-stated-room-size is ours to compute and nobody else's to quote; the cheapest published vendor per meter, per region and per use case; free tier and free-trial availability; term discount depth, since several vendors publish only the DISCOUNT (Virtual Vaults publishes -15/-30/-40% by term and no rate); and repriced-since the previous read, which is the release note.

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